    Looks great Crick! I can't wait to see some pics after the G2G after it's dinged up. That thing is going to eat up some arrows.

    Make a couple inserts for it. Set the target at 30 yards and have a competition. Everyone throws in $5 and shoots at the target w/o inserts. Of those who don't ding, you put the first insert in (making the sweet spot smaller) and the survivors shoot again. Of those who make it through round 2, shoot again at the target w/2nd insert in. If more than one survives, move the target back 5 yards and they keep going until 1 is left. Winner gets half the money and you donate the other half to a worthy charity. Whatcha think?

    I love the idea of the competition, If Crick doesn't want to make any inserts we can just line everybody up and move it back ten yards till there is only one left standing. And i love the idea of the half going to the charity.

    Now you guys need to start posting up the maximum distance you'd shoot that thing at. I'm good for 50 yards... then again I'm not going to be there to prove it and this is the internet after all.

    Ole Hank is good for 5-10 yards, anything further and he'll need to take out a 2nd on the house for some new arrows.

    I do know one thing, if you use that at home for practice for deer season then you should be able to kill. You will get tired of buying arrows to practice with and be a down right killer with the bow! LOL

    I made a couple of Iron Does for use in Bowhunter Ed classes. It makes for a lot of fun!
