Knockin' the Dust Off

Other than a couple dozen shots in my garage from <5 yds a few days ago, I haven't really had the bow out for any real shooting since the week before Thanksgiving. With the nice weather we had today, I figured it was as good a time as any to head to the range for a little practice session. A couple groups from 20 and 30 yds and I was feeling pretty good... so I went back to 40. After a nice first group of about 3.5", I sent Milo a pic just to show him how bad ass I am. :smiley_bril: lmao

I pull my arrows and head back to 40 for another round... First arrow, felt really good on the release and I knew I hit my mark. Second arrow, again felt great on the release, but the sound it made at the target sounded like vanes punching through burlap... and I couldn't see my arrow sticking out of the target so I was sure it went through. Third shot, pretty shitty... let 'er fly before I was ready.

Once I walked up to the target I realized my second shot didn't go through the burlap at all. Instead, it went through the back of my first arrow! Son of a bitch! lmao Another 12 bucks down the tubes...



Broadheads were flying pretty good, TOO!



OMO, I think this new grip is good luck man! lol Hopefully I can keep this mojo rolling into the home stretch of bow season...

Hey Jimbo, what's the brand of that second block target? I bought a foam one that size, and I love the size, but I'm blasting arrows through it now (even field points).

Nice groups, TOO

It's an actual "The Block" brand. I got it second-hand from a guy that sold his house earlier this year... I was doing an inspection and it was just sitting out in his backyard rotting away... He told me if I didn't take it that it would just keep sitting there. It's pretty much wore out, but a couple of the sides still stop arrows ok. Every once in a while I have one blow through, though.

I don't really think the groups have shrunk any with the new grip, but it does feel pretty comfortable in my hand. The rubberized material is much warmer to hold onto also.
