I have 10 targets ranging from 19 to 57 yds. 57yd target is a runner. Some rounds I shoot 10 for 10 but most are 9 for 10. It's usually one of the closer targets that I miss. I hope I am ready because it looks like I am ready as I'm gonna get. Team Rack Addicts 2016 Aldeer Deer Champions

You'll end up with 6 stitches in your trigger finger. So I've heard. "I hate rude behavior in a man. I won't tolerate it." Captain Woodrow F. Call ShawBuilt Custom Bowstrings

This is the next 3 shots: On the 4th shot I took a step to my left because the sun started peeking out from around a tree and was glaring off my level. A small limb about head high 25 yards in front of my target decided to get in my arrow's path on it's way to the target. Spent the rest of the evening trying to find that sumbitch. It's still MIA.

I had been just shooting spots around the target, but stepped back to 25 yards today for the first time and decided to shoot a couple groups. Bad choice Last Friday I shot through the fletching of another arrow too.
