    You really should come next year. This past year was my first one and I had a blast. It was great to put faces to all the screen names!

    Where are you from? I'm on tapatalk so I cant see it. My dad and I drove from southeast Michigan (about 6 hours) and it was well worth it!

    Most fun I have with my bow is every chance I get to shot it to relax and get better as a bow hunter. Also I enjoy sitting in my tree stand by my self and enjoy everything around me.

    One of the most fun times with the bow, was when my partner decided to start smack talking about how much of an awesome shot he was with the bow. So I decided to have a little fun and called him out to prove it. Of course he couldn't resist a challenge, especailly against a girl! We blew up 9 small balloons and placed them onto the 3D deer target in various areas. I figured I would go easy on him. We shot from 20 yards, with the object being to shoot as many balloons as quickly as possible. He hasn't done any more smack talking within my ear shot since...he had to make dinner that night AND do the dishes!

    Most fun thing I've ever done with bow in hand is the same answer as without my bow. Haha

    Approximately ten years ago i set up in a cut hay field for turkeys. i had a brand new cheap blind and knew the birds would show. i had a hen decoy setup just outside the front window and after a couple hours in the warm sun i began to dose. when out of nowhere there's this loud crash sound and a big dark object flapping around on my decoy!! I seriously almost had a stroke!! it was a huge hawk..he was giving my decoy heck and attempting to finish it off when he threw his head up like he was all embarrassed and took off..i just knew it would ruin my hunt if i crawled out and fixed my decoy..but i did anyway..ten minutes later and i had a flock of hens on top of me and guess what?! I emptied my quiver and never touched a feather.lol so i sat there all confused and very hot wondering how and what had happened..something was off on my bow lol but i had kept slinging arrows..had to sit there and watch em feed off and only found two of my six arrows...that was the first time i had a hawk hit my decoy but its happened to me two more times since..it deffinitely wakes you up.lol

    Well with my limited experience in Archery thus far... My most fun moment was the 1st time I picked up my bow back in April as a birthday present to myself... I was all giggity like a young school girl... I worked with my Uncle's archery professional at his store because I was and still am TOTALLY green to the world of archery ... We spent about 2-3 hours talking and he was giving me some pointers and we also focused on adjusting my bow to get it set up for me to shoot... I was in heaven and couldnt wait to shoot my bow and that all suddenly became a painful realization because he had forgotten to instruct me about proper form when holding it... The 1st shot I let off in the shop at the bag the string slapped the CRAP outta my arm... It pretty much instantaneously welted up afterwards lol but I still dont regret it other than the fact I was a bit shy on the next draw and release :)

    Home made indoor range in an old dlapidted skating rink with some buds. we had a bag stand an elevated platform 60 yard of junk in betwen us and the bag. we basically played pig. last shot was 60 yards and included a 10 by 10in empty box and a window frame. Had to shoot through the frame and box all at a floating ping pong ball in front of the bag floating on air from a wired up heater blower motor. No one hit the ball but were able to hit the bag
