yep. saw that one..

Just got into it myself, and have been playing in the yard.

I got a Diamond Archery "Core" and it's been pretty fun, despite how bad I am at it.

You're welcome to come out and play. I've got a target and such.

Next thing I need is a stand for arrows and bow while I shoot. I think I'm going to get creative with some of the wood I have laying around this weekend if I get a chance.

I forgot to mention I picked up a crossbow a couple years ago, It's actually pretty fun the 150lb draw is a bit much at times but fun nonetheless. I'm totally down to come fling some bolts if I and the crossbow are allowed :devil:

haha..

Sweet. lets do some damage.
My buddy chuck will likely tag along.

Wow, that's some bow! I've got two older models, can't hit the side of a barn. I also have a 150# crossbow, never shot it yet.

I'm working my way through the honey-do list today so I can do some shooting tomorrow morning, if you're interested and the weather holds.

FUK THIS RAIN....looks like we might see the sun next tues..

horse fuckers..

koorbloh · Mar 2, 2015

my groups are tightening up, but now I'm hitting arrows against each other more often--and I broke 2 yesterday.

sunofnun · Mar 2, 2015

thats badass..

I finally got some arrows.. need to pick up some practice tips in different weights to see what works best for me.

koorbloh · Jun 18, 2015

Shot for the first time in a couple months last night. Holy crap my arms have gotten weak.

Really felt good, needed it.

sunofnun · Jun 18, 2015

Ive lost lots of arrows so far..

koorbloh · Jun 18, 2015

try scooting up or finding a better backstop?

I'd have lost a few more if that tree wasn't there.

Keep a chisel hand if you use wood...ask me how I know...

sunofnun · Jun 18, 2015

yeah, I was definitely shooting with open forest behind the target..

I figured out a backstop helps quite a bit. Haven't sunk anything into a tree yet.. lol
