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 ![]() ![]() |

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.

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

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... |

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 |
