    I just got back from an indoor range. First time shooting a compound bow (or anything for that matter), SPEECHLESS guys, absolutely speechless. I had bought myself a new Hoyt Pro Hawk last week that was recommended to me, I had it sized and all that jazz. My first target shot tonight was a deer decoy about 20m (19y) away. I know this is child's play to some of you experienced guys, but I was not only hitting the vitals 90% of the time, but smack dab in the middle of the heart. Nothing but pure smiles, I had a hard time controlling my excitement (best part, I had the whole range to myself). :D . I'm definitely hooked. I have to say though I give you guys/gals a great deal of respect and credit for being able to do this in an uncontrolled environment, you know; harsh winds to take into consideration for the shot, drawing quickly and quietly, swaying tree stands, scent control, patience.. this is something I can only one day hope to be prepared enough for.

    Heres a pic of the Hoyt Pro Hawk bow I got. Came set up for me.
    axle to axle is 32"
    27" Draw
    I believe is 50-60lb draw weight
    Arrows are Easton Full Metal Jackets.
    I'm really happy with my investment. I love it.
