Yep, I left it out there bleeding in the woods too! Poor thing.

What about all the paper targets I leave out to bleed out? Which feels more pain, hay bales or paper?

How dare you! Oh wait, I did the same thing

I am not sure, how about the foam block in my yard, wonder if the neighbors have called the cops on us yet due to the gruesome sight.

Is this too awful for this site? A neat, but very expensive thing to have happen. It is pretty cool, as long as it does not happen again.



I call that a pretty tight group. LOL Could not do it again if I tried.

[Lady's Human]

Oh the humanity!!!!

How could you do that to an innocent block of foam and an equally innocent arrow!

I know, right? I even used a compound bow with a mechanical release. Some people call me a 'cheater' because of it. lol

[Alysser]

So much blood, you might be banned!

Hehe, that's definitely some kind of accomplishment! I am lucky if I get a bullseye once in any round! If you use a Compound Bow and you still suck does that count as cheating

Saw a news report on a 'printable, plastic' gun that was successfully fired.

It was made on a used 8,000 dollar 3-D printer, some plans off the internets, about 40 dollars worth of material and about 6-8 hours of time.

The only metal part was a nail, used as a firing pin.

Ha. Nope.

When I am gearing up for archery season (opens in late September, I start seriously shooting in late May) I shoot a dozen every day. I would shoot more, but my hunting bow draws at 68lbs so I don't want to wear my arm out too much. lol For me, the keys to accurate archery are 3 key points.

- Soft hands with your bow arm. Do not have too tight a grip. When you shoot the bow should naturally drop forward.

- Move your waist when making vertical aiming corrections, rather than moving your bow arm. You want your arms and head to be the same each time you shoot. This is especially true for tree stand type shooting. Being higher that your target changes the range you need to aim at. I need to get a range finder that takes angle into account.

- If you don't use one now, get a 'kisser button' on your string. That way you know that your form is correct each time you draw. A 'kisser' is a little piece on the string that you bring to the corner of your mouth when drawn and aiming.

Good luck!
