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

I need you to thank her for me again for letting us use her picture on the FnF Bow Hunt contest banner. I really appreciate that and she coulda said no. :wink:
Diane said Thanks. :biggrin:
She coulda said no Jim. But what fun would that be?? :laf: :laf:

WTG Diane !!!!
Jimbo...........Shes better looking than that (I have to say that.....Did you see that group!?)
I couldn't stick theem in that close by hand :doh2:. Looks good to me.
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.
Jerry
Thats darn good, give her a pat on the back and a kiss on the cheek
We're NOT going there Jerry!! :nono: :nono: Hell no & No way!!! :nono:
Already did that Vic!! Matter of fact I did it in front of the Hoyt pro guy at the bow shop!! :eyebrownod: :eyebrownod:
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. :wink:

I don't know about that :wo:. Think missing trigger finger, shaking like a quaking aspen in a hurricane and huff'n 'n puff'n like an old locomotive :shrug:.
:laf: I got you covered Barry.
Missing trigger finger-- Learn to shoot left handed. :biggrin: :confused: Or right handed. Whichever the case would be. :shrug:
Shaking like a quaking Aspen-- Breathe Barry!! Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. :eyebrownod:
huff'n 'n puff'n like an old locomotive-- That's an easy one. Tree stands. :yoyo:
And you're ready to go!!! :yoyo: :yoyo:
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. :yoyo: :yoyo:
Ignore the cat. That's just Sadie the nosy cat. :eyebrownod:

Make her pick different spots ! :laf:
I'm sure she's havin a lotta fun with it.
Nice shootin Diane !
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. :yoyo:
Thanks Scott. :biggrin:
