Title: not once but twice
Post by: nontypical on December 27, 2016, 12:16:15 PM: So Christmas morning I went to my shop to start a fire and decided to shoot a few arrows. This is the result. Then the next day did the same routine with the same results.

Post by: nontypical on December 27, 2016, 01:37:41 PM: Yah I was excited on the first one and showed the wife. She was some what excited for me too but wanted to know how much each arrow costs. I am scared to show the second one to her. It's a new bow so I am still trying get to get it dialed in at 20 yards but I think its getting very close to being dialed in now :tup:

Keep both to show off to your non-hunting friends and like others have suggested, get a 5-spot target.

Post by: jackelope on December 28, 2016, 07:31:55 AM: I just spray painted a bunch of small spots on my target. They don't need to be spaced very far apart. Just enough so you're not shooting at the same spot every time. If you have a 6 arrow quiver, put 6 spots on it. That is how I did it.

Post by: nontypical on January 01, 2017, 11:55:22 AM: Yah I shot those three did a little adjustment to my sight and shot to the right some to see how my adjustment looked.
