    Shot from 20 yards. Was excited for about 1/2 a second then mad cause now I'm down 2 arrows. Definitely not gonna shoot groups anymore. Fletchings are one thing, those shafts aint cheap.

    Yeah, I got one robin hood and I was proud of it, but not happy about the lost arrow. Now I pretty much shiver every time I hear my arrows hit, and pray that something didnt break. Being a broke highschool student without a job, I can hardly afford new nocks when I need them....

    yea just went out today and bought a dozen more Blue Streak Selects. After shooting them religiously for the last couple months I just can't see myself switching to a different arrow. I love those things.

    Dang it, dang it, dang it! Accidentally did it again, this time from 30 yards. Happy that i'm shooting good, not happy about wrecking arrows.

    Arrows arent cheap at all, I was excited about my first one after about 10 every time I hear contact I get nervous. Group shooting can get expensive.

    I shot my first last August. After that it was on. I've shot 7 since. A few at 20 couple at 30 and one at 40. The only time I shoot groups now is when group tuning at 40+. I was like you in my first one. Excited long enough to do the calculation in my head. The rest just happened. The one at 40 was a shock and then I busted the tail end of one pretty bad at 50 an said "I'm done with groups".
