Just over a week ago I tossed out the 2-prong arrow rest on my bow, and installed a Trophy Ridge DropZone arrow rest. Since then my groups have gotten a LOT tighter, and in my 5 arrow groups I've frequently had 3 of the arrows entering virtually the same hole when shooting from 10 or 15 yards.

Yesterday I was shooting from my deck as it's as close as I can get to being in a tree stand. On my 5th arrow of this group, I head a dull "thwack" and knew instantly what happened.

Not bad for having just started shooting a bow 6 weeks ago!

Yes, I'll have to do that from now on too, especially since I'm now going to break out the broadheads to practice with.

I've had a couple with aluminum arrows but I always wondered what they would look like with carbons. Nice shot!!

I thought a Robin Hood was the first shot in the Bulls eye and then the second arrow into the first. Either way glad your having fun.

CONGRATES!!! haha, I'd definitely hang that up somewhere. Especially being a carbon, it seems like you would have to be absolutely DEAD ON for it to go right down the center and not deflect off! Nice work:D
