Title: Update on my new bow..
Post by: rtspring 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!!!!
