Finally slinging some arrows
« on: December 13, 2009, 07:54:04 PM »
Yeah! After not shooting archery for 14 years I was finally able to set up the target and let the Beeman's fly. The Martin set at 70# sure is fun compared to my old 45# Browinging Micro Midas from when I was a teen.  It only took a few three shot groups to set the 20 pin.  Here's the first group before I was able to bring the aim closer to the bullseye.

Almost a Robinhood... I'm hooked again. The two arrows at the top gave each other a "birth mark" from their maiden voyages.

ahhh.....nothing better than punching holes in your fletchings from the tight groups.  I hate refletching, but sure like having to because of tight groups at longer ranges! :chuckle:

I guess now it's time to invest in a new target. That 20 yr-old was stoppin' the arrows, but if the other arrows don't tear the fletching by shooting tight groups I think a the target may eat 'em up.

Ah, another hobbie to take some money when the fishing season ends.

I have been looking at getting a new bow and getting back into it.

And when does fishing season end? Didn't know it ended. ;)

Is the taste of the bait worth the sting of the hook twice?
