That didn't sound right!
Ok pro shop tech said 'stand about 20 feet from the target and check the left-right of the sight. Don't worry about the up down.'
1,2,3,4....20feet. Nock arrow, draw, hold on loosely, anchor, aim.....release!!! FWWTANG.....SWIIFFSH....THUD!!!!!! ouch.
Ooops!
Hmmm...time for some backyard math:
70lb draw+12" target +20ft distance= arrow through target and into fence. LOL! Oh yeah and a welt on my forearm like crazy! (Forgot about the hold on loosely part and wham that string slapped me hard.)
That thud concerned me, I went to the target and could not pull out my arrow! Hmmm???? As I pulled the target away from the fence I saw why. I had buried the field point into the wooden fence that the target was leaning against. I had to unscrew the shaft from the tip to get it out! The tip is still in the fence.
So know I have to turn the target long ways so the arrows won't keep lodging into the fence. This gives me a 10 maybe 12 inch wide target to shoot at. GULP!!
Remember?? I have never shot a compound bow before! My first shot hit the fence and raised a welt on my arm, now I have to hit a target a foot wide!
Arrow number 2......Nock arrow, draw, hold on loosely, anchor, aim.....release!!! FWWTANG.....SWIIFFSH....!!!!!! Woo hoo I didn't miss.
That was a week ago, tomorrow I make a new target that I can't shoot through (I hope). My shots are so consistent that I have blasted tunnels throught the styrofoam and the arrows are coming out the other side!
Yeah buddy, deer dropping power!!!
