    Just wanted to share one of the coolest things I've had happen to me lately. I recently got my girlfriend involved in the world of archery.

    When we started dating I made it clear how passionate I am about hunting and archery, she's watched me shoot quite a bit and decided she wanted a bow of her own. We went to a few different shops and shot a lot of different bows. She decided she liked the Diamond Razors Edge the best, and it fit into the price range perfectly. We set her up with some Easton Epic 500's, tuned her bow and set her loose at the range. Her form was just about perfect straight off the bat, and getting better. I shoot with her twice a week and the improvements have been HUGE. She can't wait to start bowhunting next fall after we get her some camo and she builds some more confidence. I couldn't be happier that I we can share such a huge part of my life. Here are some pics of her shooting....

    Congrats! It's nice to have your SO involved in things you enjoy. Can I ask what shop that is you're shooting at?

    Awesome! The wife started shooting and hunting with me around 1980. Don't tell her I told you that though.

    No, haven't heard of them before. I'm a little north of the cities so either shoot at the outdoors Lexington range, or occasionally at Bwanna's.

    Thanks for the info, and congrats again for your lady enjoying something you enjoy. :)
