Title: Loosing the one good thing about being a newby
Post by: DC on May 25, 2015, 08:46:57 pm
I finally got to the point that I have to stop shooting 12 arrows a round :D :D It was good for a while because shooting is more fun than walking back and forth but now my grouping is small enough that I'm starting to hit other arrows. This was not a big concern when I was starting but I've hit and broken four now. Time to cut it down to six a round. Progress, finally. But my feet get tired ;D ;D

That is funny! Years ago when I shot wheel bows I used to shoot long distances. Like 60 all the way out to 100 yards. I would shoot a dozen or even more sometimes. But I would pick different points of aim on a larger target. At first I told myself it was good exercise to walk down to retrieve my arrows. But after a couple days, I found that the 4wheeler was priceless! Patrick

I have been shooting so long that I can space them out all over the target (and sometimes the real estate around the target, too) where they never have a chance of touching each other. 

That and I build all my bows with an "open choke".  >:D

"open choke" - now that is funny! I'm sorry but can't help stealing that line!
