Update on my new bow..
« on: February 05, 2014, 08:10:17 AM »
I have been shooting everyday for over a month.  I am amazed at what I have missed out on for 41 years..  I love shooting my bow!!!

I have called Coach, and Blrman on several occasions asking advice.  It is all coming together.

I have a 4 pin sight. 20,30, 40 and 50. And can put three arrows in the kill zone from each yardage.. 

I let one fly from 83 yards for the first time ever this past weekend and hit my target. But i learned I will never let one fly past 50 yds. Thats just me and how my confidence is.. 

Cannot wait to get my first kill with a bow!!!!

Thanks again Coach!!!!

Get into shooting 3-D's and you will get hooked even more. They are a blast to shoot and we have a great community of archers who attend these shoots, making shooting buddies comes easy.

Better start practicing to see how fast you can get out of a tree stand after devouring some of Plats pepperoni. :yike:

I don't advise trying to shoot tight groups. Pick different dots to shoot each time. Arrows are too expensive to robin hood. Lesson learned for me.
