Title: Lil shoot'n
Post by: Todd Rahm on August 12, 2012, 02:52:19 PM
Well it's been a busy summer with work and inlaws in town, but Wyatt finally got his bow and arrows in. Took him in and Judy tuned him up quite quickly, to my amazement none the less.

It's a 35 lb bow, and I would guess anything with in the 20 yards might just be dead!  :biggrin:

Got some bird tips for us and ordered me some slower arrows, so with any luck we'll be looking for grouse this week off!

And the first arrow on his third round from 20 yards.

Wow, good shooting - especially with a recurve.  Tell him I will be waiting to see the pictures after he goes hunting.

In looking at the pictures again, I think I might have shot there a couple of times.  See those arrows stuck in the wall.  That was probably me.     :iroll:

Lol, yip Jerry they probably are yours.  :biggrin: I'll never have to worry about any of mine making that wall.  :innocentwhistle: I'll have to hit the targert before I can hit someone elses arrow.  :shrug:

Let me clarify.  I would not be stacking arrows, just sticking my arrows in the wall while trying to shoot the target.

That's awesome Todd!  Good to see a youngster learning on a recurve. I have an old Bear recurve my dad gave me years ago, I just haven't bought any arrows for the thing yet. Just not enough time. Looking forward to seeing some hunting shots!!
