Where is the 10 ring on that grizz?? Right behind the shoulder or more in the belly?

Just between the two white dots behind the shoulder, in that dark brown swoosh. That target is massive, I'd love to have one. You could shoot it with field tips for the rest of your life and not wear it out

That's why it's fun shooting in a league or event...alot cheaper and you have to have a place to keep these huge targets.

Speaking of shoots....my club Evans rod & Gun will be hosting an ASA state qualifer 30 Target shoot on July 14th. I will post a separate thread when I get more details.

wish i was closer.  I'll try to round up some guys out this way for shoots out here.

Admittedly not my first arrow. My best group of the night though. I need to get outside though with some more room.

Boy you guys are deadeyes with the trad bows!

[dbHunterNY]

i just bought 4 volumes of Masters of the Bare Bow because i was curious. some interesting info on there. i really have to get an arrow saw and some more insert weights. to put together some more arrows and tinker.  with a compound you could adjust the bow to the arrow but with trad you really can't get around not messing the the arrow a lot. i'm just not setup for it! need to get strings from steveB too. all i have is one string for this new one.

3 is the best volume.  Yes you need to get real close with the arrow and then minor tweaks to BH can address spine issues.   I use the Weston saw - works well and not too expensive.

good. i made it through first 2 of them. i got volumes 1 - 4. i think there's a Vol.5 but i figured i was good enough with finding four of them.

First shots taken outside, with my new to me Obsession Phoenix, purchased from moog. Got lots of time to really dial it in before October 1st. But I'm very happy with the starting point! Hopefully the end point, will be with it laying on a deer this year.

I Absolutely Love This Bow!!! So comfortable, smooth and quiet. 

A HUGE step up from my 19 year old Mathews!

[grampy]

A few groups later. Tightened it up a bit with a small sight adjustment. Even broke a nock. Still a long way to go. But I haven't enjoying shooting this much in years.

[dbHunterNY]

@grampy first shoot of the year for NEBA is this Saturday. More after that. Check the schedule and let's meet up. Anyone else in the area be advised send PM on here and let's go shoot! Couple more groups north and south of capital region too. I'll have to watch for their schedules. Best first shots on 30 targets kind of practice out there. I'll have to step it up to keep up with Dave though.

Definitely looks like fun Dan. Will have to pick a date and go! This Saturday is out for me unfortunately. 

I am heading the archery committee at Woodlawn Sportsmans Club this year. We are planning to do some shoots there too. Along with a youth archery day. All invited! Will come back with the info when we nail down the date.

We launched some bombs at this moose before going to the actual stake. Hawkeye is always a great shoot

Since I can’t draw my old bow , I bought an Elite Synergy off Jeremy K, ( thank you .)  Tossed my old sights on it shot 2 arrows,high, moved block down , that worked, then moved it to left . 8 arrows and I’m done .  No pics of high ones, but they were top of the block .

Oh twenty yards . Center pic is last two shots,after final move of pins .

Bow shoots great , I was a little shaky ,so no fine tuning till I’m fine tuned .
