Wow, what a blast. Finally got around to getting my bow tuned and shot it for the first time this a.m. I had got it for Christmas as mentioned on another thread from my wife, and a good friend that has just started a bow business in the U.P.
Anyway I had the guy at the range put a peepsite on it and shot for an hour at ten yards. Now I had never shot one of these before and in the first 45 minutes the guy at the range was very amazed at how well I was shooting. He stayed right with me and made a few adjustments as I shot and noticed a difference each time. But, after the first 45 minutes I could feel the fatigue setting in and my left arm was starting to wonder a bit. Anyway I loved it and can't wait to get back there next weekend to shoot somemore. Look out all you monster bucks I'm hooked and coming after you this fall!:D

Good Job. Have fun and keep shooting. If your planning on bowhunting next fall begin shooting from an elevated platform. There's nothing like drawing back on the buck and letting that arrow fly. The most satisfying way to hunt whitetails in my opinion. Good luck, welcome to the bowhunting world.

take it from me, you will never want to put that bow down. It is a ton of fun if you are shooting paper targets or a monster buck. I think its the real way to hunt, i gun hunt but that is just to get back out in the woods:)

Shoot'em straight shoot'em often
