Title: New world records
Post by: Badger on September 01, 2017, 07:23:09 pm

   My 90# elb and my 50# elb both set new world records today. I couldn't be happier. I am not so sure the 50# record will survive the weekend, there are some good shooters out there this year. The 90# shot 451 yards and the 50# 325 yards. The 35# is the one I really have high hopes for I know it has over 300 yards in it with a good shot.

Congrats badger! I'm always amazed at how far flight arrows can go. I'm isually content to get an arrow past 160 yards.

   Del, I wouldn't be surprised if Tony Bakes didn't take his record back before the weekend is up I think he was only edged out by inches and he is still shooting. I imagine he is highly motivated right now.

   The 50# record may have been in the junior classes, not sure yet. The distance was right at the mens distance.
