Santamour123 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I'm going to have to disagree with you on this SteveB. If only the first shot counts, then why am I shooting 50-60 arrows or more every time I shoot? Here is why, to make sure that when I get that one shot, It counts. I'm a firm believer in practice makes perfect. And if you don't practice, then you are just asking for trouble. Agreed. Levi Morgan is the biggest phenom who has ever held a compond bow. And if you hear his shooting ritual this holds tru. Not only does he spend time hitting thr target. But also he will spend hours training his musles to react the same way everytime. But just pulling back and shooting at 2-5 yards. Its all repitition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELMER J. FUDD Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) You guys are damn good shots. (or I'm a bad shot!)This is a 30yd group. I ended up splintering one of the arrows so I stopped. Edited September 19, 2012 by ELMER J. FUDD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiefbkt Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 If I ever get my bow fixed, I will post a picture of my first group with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneidacountyhunter Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 30 yards Bring on the real ones, I think I have killed this foam one enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELMER J. FUDD Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 30 yards with broadheads. (Aiming for the imaginary target in the middle so I don't tear up the bulls) First and only 30 yd group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guns&ReligionCop Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 You guys are damn good shots. (or I'm a bad shot!)This is a 30yd group.

covert Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 (edited) 30 yds. Not bad for a bow that was built in 1986! Same gear, same distance. Edited September 26, 2012 by covert 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiefbkt Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 New bow right out of the box at 20 yards. Was impressed. Didn't have much time for fine tuning as the boys kept me occupied while they shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doewhacker Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 Just like my kids when I shoot..lol My son shoots and my daughter is my official arrow holder, tough to concentrate though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve863 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 30 yds. Not bad for a bow that was built in 1986! Same gear, same distance. I thought I shot the oldest bow in existence, but you have me beat by 4 years!! I love it. Went to an archery range last weekend and shot as well with my old bow as some of the regulars there who have all of the latest expensive high tech stuff. I hardly ever shoot, too. If I shot more, I could easily have them beat. Maybe I should ask them if they want to trade bows? LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve863 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Doe, that is a boone & crocket deer target if I ever saw one! LOL AR's must have been in effect in the factory they made that bruiser, don't you think?? LOL What we need to do is to put it in front of the gamecams of some of the AR supporters here, so they can think that they have some more monsters running around all thanks to AR's of course! You can leave your arrows in it too. They won't know the difference. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Nice shots, some however should be practicing a bit more, there shouldn't be a 12" group at 25yrds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
132 eight pointer Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I can only shoot 30 yds. max.because the groups open up after that. I have shot better groups at 30- it was breezy out when I shot today.That is a softball in the 30 yd. picture.(for scale). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erussell Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) Since I only deer hunt and dont shoot any 3-D I started shooting with broadheads a month ago( I would start sooner but find it very rough on the targets ), Last thing I want to do is shoot a tight group. One arrow and retreive for me. I find shooting broadheads as early as possible the best way to get a perfect tune. You keep tweeking it ever so much each time and those broadheads are like lazer beams to the target.

WNYBuckHunter Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I tried to get a pic of my best group yesterday, but the G5 Montec practice heads tore the core right out of my 3D target within less than 10 shots and I barely had enough foam in it to get the bow re-sighted with the heavier broadheads. Time for a new 3D target.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNYBuckHunter Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 BTW, going from 100 to 125 grain broadheads on the same arrow, etc, dropped my shot 2 inches at 20 yards, and 3 at 30. Pretty much what I figured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
