Getting ready for Shooting anything...

Post by CrazyAce »

Out back trying out the new string from Mike... Few scope adjustments... and then it happens... You take aim, aim small miss small... *thwack!*, reload, take aim, aim small miss small... *thwack!* In the scope you see an odd thing... The orange knock you were aiming at flying away... Then you realize... Crap there's a $20 arra in the trash.. :oops: :?

Awe well... at least it's sighted in accurately... I was shooting free hand off a bipod (by free hand I mean no bags just me and the bipod). :mrgreen:

It should be a rule, no aiming at the same point

x3 but every once in a while it's good to do to remind yourself how accurate these bows are. I keep a few junk arrows on hand to shoot groups. As Don said challenge yourself and shoot groups 50 plus :mrgreen:

I would and it's a great idea, but... My back yard is only so big :) And thank the lord it's not bigger to mow... I might be able to get 50 corner to corner, but my table is under the porch...It's Texas -in July- ... I'm staying under the porch... with the fan...
