Hey everyone! I recently became interested in bow shooting/hunting. My boss shoots competitively and tells me his wife is 7th in the world. He recommended a few different bows and I decided to buy 'The drive' last week. I bought it RTS with a half dozen gold tip arrows with 100 grain field points. I haven't really had a chance to really practice shooting it until today. I tried to sight the 10 yard dot in but I had a little trouble. I can't tell if it's just poor shooting on my part or if it's that I sighted it in incorrectly. I seem to be grouping pretty well but hey, it's kind of hard not to group well at 10 yards. haha Anyways, so far I've punched myself in the face once, lost an arrow in the woods, broke another, and blunted all my field tips. How did I do this, you ask? Well, I punched myself in the face because I forgot to take my finger off the trigger when pulling back(it was my first time shooting). I lost one of my arrows because I pulled the trigger and didn't squeeze it. I broke one because I shot it into a tire swing(stupid idea, I know). I blunted all my field tips because the target my mother had was one of those cheap ones and it was set up on a metal chair. My arrows were sticking out of the back a good foot at least. heh...Lessons learned... I now have 6 new gold tip arrow shafts and field points. I accidentally bought stiffer ones but they seem to be flying okay with my bow being set at 50lbs. Well, that's about it. I look forward to learning from you all. haha
Hi Joe Sounds like you're havin' fun! Oh... Welcome to the site and the forum. I'd say... keep at it - you're learning.
Welcome joe ,stick with it and you will get the hang of it .The more you practice the better .What county are you in upstate i am down here in westchester Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Welcome... Stick with it!! However you need to buy a nice target...rinehart targets are really nice but expensive. A decent large bag target would be good for you until you get used to things.. Keep your finger behind the trigger at all times until you are set and ready to fire. This is how I keep myself from accidentally hitting the trigger before I'm ready..
Welcome to the forum and the addiction Joe from a fellow New Yorker!!! Like you said you are learning...keep practicing and have fun with it!
Welcome joe glad to have you hope you get a little help to get you up to speed it will save you arrows and a little pain
