Not too bad, I don't think?

I have had my bow for less than a week now. Been shooting in my driveway from about the 30 yard line and thought i'd share some of the results so far. Think its not to bad for the amount of time I've been shooting! Too bad I still have to wait until next season to hunt with it.

Actually, as long as you have a valid tag, you CAN bowhunt in General season. Game might be on the run past you 'cause they're hearing gun shots resonate around them, but you can use the bow, crossbow, muzzle loader, rifle, etc throughout the General season.

Good shooting

Thanks! I know I can technically hunt now. Considering I have only had a bow for less than a week I think I'll wait till I am proficient with it next year.

Sharp shooting. Looks good. You should try practicing from all different positions as well. I found after practicing shooting from seated,kneeling,tree stand etc I was much more confident in all areas of achery. Plus you never know when and where that next trophy is going to show up.

Good on you, that is a responsible bowhunter there. Wish more were like that as there are far too many guys that pick up the bow shoot a few groups and figure they are good to go. One thing I would recommend for the off season is some 3D shoots as they help me with quick yardage judgements and they were a lot of fun. Good shooting and enjoy the bow.

Keep up the practice, and you're all set to go! Before hunting don't forget to check where your broadheads are impacting, compared to field points.

Good shooting! Remember - shooting out in the field at an animal is a whole lot different then shooting at a target!

Looks good man glad its working good for you!!
Did you go get the draw length fitted for you?
What's the green nock? Lumenock? Does it always fly a bit different than the rest of your group?

Alberta Bigbore · #13 10-25-2012, 08:33 AM

Good job on the shooting.

Ya, I had it shortened by half inch and had one of those kiss X things put on. The green nock was in the stuff you had in the box. Can't remember why I put it on. For some reason I always have one out of the four shots off by a bit. It's not always the green one.

Getting pretty tight, should start shooting each arrow at different spots. Should save you some money on broken arrows and torn fletching.

X2 what he said .... I have a few "robin hooded" arrows also when you practice with broad heads make sure of this otherwise you will slice all your vanes!!

It's and accurate bow!!

Redneck Renagade · #17 10-25-2012, 03:46 PM

With shooting like that I'll have to bring you out to some of my gopher fields in the spring. It's a blast zipping arrows throught them little buggers.

Looks like your off to a good start!
