Post by: D-Rock425 on April 09, 2013, 02:20:06 PM: Smossy its not a 3d shoot. Its the regular target butts with aiming dots. Marked yardage too. You seriously need to shoot 3ds best hunting practice hands down.

Post by: D-Rock425 on April 09, 2013, 02:25:44 PM: If you'd shoot a few 3-D's you'd start to shoot better and it wouldn't be an issue.

if you shoot cheap arrows, it doesn't hurt as bad when you lose them... :chuckle: that's why i like aluminum! :IBCOOL:

Post by: h20hunter on April 09, 2013, 02:40:03 PM: Smossy....losing one or two is good for experience...it will make your better. Granted...I've lost more than one or two and am getting better, just very slowly.

Lol At my girls I lose at-least ONE every-time I shoot, I always manage to over-exhaust myself and shoot tired. 50-60 shots later. I miss the target entirely and sacrifice one to the grass gods across the street.

Dunno maybe, Straight fletch better for 3-d shoots or what? Ive heard people choose speed over accuracy to compensate for error in range estimation. I like my helicals.
