I shot today at 30 yards three arrows, the first way left , the second next to that, finally got near the center on the third.

I grabbed some arrow that were for my sixty pound recurve I had and you should have seen them fishtail with my fourty five pound bow. They actually spiralled to the target, i've never seen that before.

Evening all shot made @2020hrs 18yds. First and only shot for the day. Typical high impact when I'm shooting in the dark, could barely make target out. Hard time focusing on it. I did get new target in today. Heck yeah ready to poke some holes in it. Some nice shots today.....shoot straight

From: Barber

Box call is putting them in there nicely. I think you pulled that on on purpose, smart move. Them sticks get expensive....shoot straight

Haven't shot the Predator bow for awhile. And i haven't shot for awhile either. Did a walk back shooting 703 gr. ash arrows. Some flew a little funny. Goin for the top dot on target. I think I'll stick with carbon arrows.

Not strictly FS, but I was shooting earlier and then watched some hockey for a while before I went back out for these two.

First was a bit low. From about 17....

Shot 40 yards with slight quarter away. Went little high and left. Y’all shooting good keep it up . Using my Omega Imperial 60 inch 56lb and Easton Axis Traditional arrows. Have a Blessed night !

Dan's shooting with a site...He ought to be able to put them all in there! I can't shoot a traditional bow straight up and down,and can't hold steady long enough to even use a site. I shoot in one fluid motion,with little to no pause at anchor. Sometimes I WISH I could shoot with a sight!

I shot one POC arrow with my new to me 49#, 1953 Bear Kodiak at 18 yards in the rain. I'm going to put a new leather grip on this bow but wanted to shoot it first. I haven't even served the string yet. I hope that all of you had a nice weekend. Lance.

I finally got to shoot in the dark tonight, we have a full moon but it hasn't quite come up yet. I took a shot of my target with the flash at 12 yards, but it still didn't show up, I actually shot three arrows at 20 yards and these are my first three, I did better as the night wore on. I can just barely make out the little piece of foam and you can't see the arrows in flight or after they hit, this really helps me with my muscle memory.

I circled the foam, but not sure I got it exactly, the image too the right is the fin on my mini wind mill.

Bow Reborn Yew.

Arrows Cedar that I made this year.

If you look away then back at the picture you can just make out the little piece of foam dead center in the circle.

Hey Barber, She is a cutie, and there aint nuttin wrong with that group especially with a bow she can't draw back and is three times larger than she is.....Ha!Ha!

From: SB
Date: 03-Dec-17




Gonna miss the SUPER moon tonight....of course it's cloudy and rain expected! Nice moonlight shooting Ron!

Evening all shot from 17yds @ 1855hrs moonlight. Little tighter than I like to the shoulder, but I will take it. Really starting to like these heavy arrows rubbing 690gr out of my lighter limbs 49#. These limbs really drive it home for being this weight. Ready to shoot in the light again. See y'all tomorrow....shoot straight
