Do you let other people shoot your bow?

    I've actually offered more than been asked. Not many of my friends shoot or hunt so I offer in the hopes that one of them will get hooked and I won't have to torture my girlfriend with hunting talk and trips to the range.

    To my knowledge my Hoyt has never been fired by anyone else. My bowfishing recurve rig is open season for anyone who wants to try it.

    I've let people shoot my old Browning that I had. Only Marshall has shot my Encounter, and that was only so he knew what he was looking for. After I dry fired, I'm very "my hands only" about my bow now.

    Nope, nobody else will fire my bow. Part of it is because of what I spent on the bow, part is because I don't like sharing lol

    Negative. They can shoot their own bow.

    I saw your bow from tony219er. That thing is gorgeous and I wouldn't let anyone touch that.

    I posted up more pictures, hopefully the next set will be with a dead elk.

    Anyways, I let my friend shoot my bow today, he misfired one before full draw and broke one arrow. Another one, I have no idea but it skid on the ground and embedded itself into a log. I also forgot that I should've been closer when shooting my bow for the first time in months. The sight wasn't zeroed in, I shot high and to the right, definitely mashed itself into wood. 1 hours work of range time = $30 loss + the car idling because my dog wanted to be cold.

    Most of my friends that bow hunt have much shorter draw lengths than I do so I don't have to worry about them even asking. Kind of a perk being 31.5" on dl.

    Mine is the black bow on the hanger. Yes. I let people shoot my bow. If something goes wrong with it the company would buy me a new one so it's all good.

    They always say they know what they're doing till they break it. Then they just don't know what happened.
