Title: FINALLY !! a new bow!
Post by: Kc_Kracker on September 19, 2014, 05:38:18 PM: so after getting the bug 2 years ago and playing around with a vintage Bear bow that didnt even fit me today I pulled the trigger and jumped on one I really like. Its not a top name brand but shoots and feels really nice. Its a Kodiak Outdoors Nomad, got it with every accessory you could think of except a target. all for only $300 and over $1200 in receipts :IBCOOL: He stays shipped out so its never been hunted with even.

I would get those broadheads out of that case, when the case is closed they are probably very close to your strings. :yike: Id hate for that to happen to your new toy. :)

Post by: Kc_Kracker on September 21, 2014, 05:35:49 AM: well i guess it has been 2 years, went to sight it in last night and tried shooting 20 yards with the bottom pin, missed the target hit my rock wall, one PSE sniper arrow exploded into pieces. :chuckle: ooooook now that thats outta the way we were able to get down to business, luckily its like riding a bike picked right back up just fine and started slingin sticks perfect. i got 10,20,30 yards set, today ill get 40 50 & 60 yards pics done.

question should i get them all dialed in THEN do a paper test?

You don't want to be shooting at 40,50 etc without doing that. Otherwise you may be making adjustments you don't need to.
