Here is what Diane can do already at 10yds with her new Parker bow. She's not shooting these all the time but she does this about 75% of her groups. It's actually only 1 1/4". There is only 3/4" left to right too. This group looks almost exactly like the 2nd,3rd & 4th arrows she ever shot at the bow shop.

She's only been shooting twice now. Yesterday AM & this AM.

Glen,

That is the type of shooting that Diane does all the time - rifle, shotgun, bow, heck she can probably throw a tomahawk pretty good as well.

Thats darn good, give her a pat on the back and a kiss on the cheek

HaMeR · September 08, 2009, 03:31:24 PM

We're NOT going there Jerry!!

Hell no & No way!!!

Already did that Vic!! Matter of fact I did it in front of the Hoyt pro guy at the bow shop!!

Barry-- You would be amazed at how easy these new bows are to start shooting. And if you've never shot one before I think it's even easier if you have a good teacher. After all no matter how old you are if you've never shot before then the teacher has a clean slate to start with. You could do it.

I don't know about that

. Think missing trigger finger, shaking like a quaking aspen in a hurricane and huff'n 'n puff'n like an old locomotive

I got you covered Barry.

Missing trigger finger-- Learn to shoot left handed.

Or right handed. Whichever the case would be.

Shaking like a quaking Aspen-- Breathe Barry!! Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale.

huff'n 'n puff'n like an old locomotive-- That's an easy one. Tree stands.

And you're ready to go!!!

This aint no perfect Robin Hood but it sure is close!!! This was done Friday evening around 6:30PM. Just shy of owning the bow for a full week. I know there's some luck to this but Diane has been getting 2 arrows to touch for a good bit of the times she has been shooting.

Ignore the cat. That's just Sadie the nosy cat.

iahntr · September 13, 2009, 12:48:22 PM

Dang !!

You're gonna hafta back er up to 30 or 40 yds.

Make her pick different spots !

I'm sure she's havin a lotta fun with it.
Nice shootin Diane !

HaMeR · September 13, 2009, 03:13:56 PM

We'll be shooting the 20yd targets next. Her bow Pro told her to start at 10yds & get totally comfy before moving back. He suggested 5yds at a time since she has no prior experience. Right after that shot she started shooting at different spots on the Block.

Thanks Scott.
