He bought me this amazing bow for Christmas and we picked it up today. Got all the neat things attached by Rod at Sportsman's Warehouse (he's such a nice guy and knows his stuff!). I'm excited, can't wait.

Good luck.

I think it will be. I got everything I need so far except a quiver and arrows. I shot a few of Smossy's into a target after we brought it home and it was fun! Ton of work and practice to do to keep steady, work the muscles, hold it correctly etc etc but I have some time to go :)

Him and I were going to my spot in central Washington next Sept. I suppose this means you're coming along too?
Lol I'm not moving in on his plans, if it's just you two then it'll be just you two :) I'll get in where I can elsewhere.

There's more than enough deer to go around. I'm more than fine with you going if you want. I'll probably drag at least one of my kids along too
If I'm invited then most definitely! :tup: :)

This means your shooting at Tacoma sportsman's frozen fletch on the 11th
I asked him to go shoot, ummmm I shot the bow like 4 times yesterday and that was it haha. There is no way I'd have her dialed in by then. We are trying to figure out how to get this sight set, I have the HHA single pin slider and he has a Trophy Ridge 5 pin so he isn't sure just yet on how to help me with mine. Looks promising though, for me, I like the single pin better so far.
If anyone has the single pin and has any tips I'd appreciate it :)

I have shot single pin sights a lot, and I really like them. The windage adjustment is the same as Smossy's sight. Elevation is done by the slider. Slide the sight up or down, and when it's hitting where you want put a mark on the back. Do that for all of your ranges, and you are done. The stick on marks that come with the sight rarely work. Use a blank one, and make your own marks with a pencil.

Is that the Siren?

Yep it's the Siren. Okay that's what I was wondering is how exactly I am going to get it down pact with this giant packet of pre-marked sticky tapes it came with. We have the tester one on there now, I'll just mark that all up then. Seems promising though, it looked way better/easier to me than the multipin one. I like being able to see the numbers on the side exactly with the ranges, instead of having to know "oh red pin is 20 yards, green pin is 30.. etc.".
your shooting a BEAR I smell radsav :tup:
He was a huuuuge help for me with Smossy's Motive 7, so naturally he was consulted with for guidance on mine! :) I just had no idea Smossy was buying it though.

So, be in the club. Just put your position in the club under your avatar. Make up whatever position you want that isn't spoken for.

Congrats! The good news is that you guys are a young enough couple that you don't need a 2 person ladder stand yet. A single seater will be just fine for a few years. :chuckle: Just remember that you both must wear a safety harness while....hunting.
I can't even appropriately respond to this :chuckle: :chuckle: that is all.

It is a sweet set up,are you getting comfortable with it yet?hows target shooting coming along?I am stoked to see pics next season,hopefully you both fill tags and not just you,,,,,,,,,,,couldnt resist that one.congrats again. :archer:
Haven't fully got to give it a whirl yet. I JUST got the arrows last week and went and got them cut the other day, now Smossy is working hard to get them all ready :).. His arrows are setup for his bow and too long so I couldn't shoot them except 3 mismatched smaller cut ones he had. I shot them a whole bunch out to 20 yards only but it helped me practice shooting at least. Now I'll actually get to setup my sight and have my shooting consistent.
Lol that's funny :chuckle:

If you want to bring that bow by the house, I'll scrape all that pink off there with my jackknife. Just let me know.
You both are haters :chuckle: ... I like color coordination. When they make all the accessories in purple or teal I'll change over.

Exactly. Just move up on the targets until you're at a comfortable distance. Don't worry about score, just have fun. That's the main goal anyway. I shoot for fun. If I shoot good, so be it. It's more about the fun w/folks I'm shooting with.
