Geno C Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 man i feel like i am running a bit late on breaking the bow out this year... Im having alot of work done at the house and i have been super busy this year. I have to take the bow out soon. Anyone else feel that way? i mean i have over a month to sling some arrows so whatever BUT last year the bow was out around beginning of July. My bow usually never needs any tweaks but last year i did do a few and she was dead on. im pumped to take the bow out tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNYBuckHunter Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Yep, I am running a little late as well, but it has to do with getting a new bow, not that Ive been too busy to shoot here and there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunter Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Yeah, I'm late as well. I finished the basement and that's where I used to warm up. Funny thing is I never missed the target at such close range but don't want to risk it now. Thanks for the wake up call Geno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ny hunter Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I don't feel so bad now.I have not touched my bow yet.Just finished redoing our whole living room.so maybe in the next few days I can start to shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELMER J. FUDD Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I just put my string back on and flung some arrows the other day. My string flew off the cam last year because I torqued the crap out of it during a shot (I beleive). The carbon arrow broke just after the vanes. The bow sat all year with the string like that. I put it back on by myself with no bow press. It just took a little brainstorming. I picked up some aluminum shafts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nomad Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Ran out to Indian Mountain Archery for some arrows and a new sight. Last year I broke my green fiber optic at a friends cabin....So Phil put on a enclosed type one.Took my first shots which were the first ones of the year as well,adjusted the sight ( or is it site?). Then put 3 in an 1 1/2 inches dead center at 20 yards . Man I love todays compounds. I am ready to start flinging a few a week though. Just have to go on vacation a for a few days, move two kids back to college,stain the house,fix a couple cars,close the pool...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doewhacker Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I'm at the point in my practice season where my brain and my body are having a disconnect.

WNYBuckHunter Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 good stuff, i will buy new arrows next year. i bought arrows last year... My old ones were a couple of years old, and I was down to only 4, so I figured it was time lol. You know how annoying it is to go to the range and shoot 4 arrows and then wait for everyone else to shoot a dozen before I can go get them? ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geno C Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share Posted August 17, 2011 ^^lol well im glad you enjoy your shooting time alittle more but i know how you feel.... you cant shoot in your yard? i bought a dozen Easton carbon n fused nano tubes, great arrows but im down to about 8 or so. after shooting a few deer and target practice i ate up a few of them...

Doewhacker Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 ha I'm in that same boat, bought a half dozen last year, lost two shooting at deer, and one from a miss in the yard. I hate loosing/breaking arrows! Oh and WNY, I only shoot 3 at a time, just cause thats what I always did growing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I shoot in the yard, but its fun to go to the 3D range from time to time. They have an elevated platform and all kinds of targets. I have some pics of the place, let me dig them out.
