Title: The road to recovery with new pic
Post by: vermonster13 on July 05, 2007, 03:50:00 PM
Well as many of you know I had an eventful spring. I shot some of my bows for the first time last week when French Manny came to visit. I did ok considering how long the layoff had been, but nowhere near where I am used too.

This past Monday Vermontrad came down to shoot, while we had fun, my shooting was not good at all. I have been working on my form and recovering my draw length every day.

Here are the results at 15 yards today.

Black Swan 1pc Hybrid 47@30 62", Axis 500s How many arrows do you count? The shafts are almost all touching though it doesn't look that way in the pic. The light weight bow is so much fun right now.

Black Swan Impala Belly Mount Low Grip Hybrid, 64" 56@30 Easton Trad 2117 Only 3 at a time with the heavier bows. Don't want to over do it.

A&H ACS CX same specs as the Impala, Alcoa Ebony like the Impala

Attaboy Dave,nothing wrong with the slow & steady approach.Sure don't wanna miss to the high side,huh?
Title: Re: The road to recovery with new pic
Post by: vermonster13 on July 05, 2007, 04:43:00 PM
That is the arrow eating wall of doom back there. Adds some realism to practice, if you miss it costs you an arrow. Just ask French Manny and 4runr (well cost me an arrow lol)

Post by: vermonster13 on July 05, 2007, 04:57:00 PM
It better be in the box when it gets here Tim or I know who to look-up.    ;)   Still need to call the bearded feller about that.

I bet I know what is in the package. I knew you would like that one. Take it slow my friend.

Post by: vermonster13 on July 05, 2007, 07:14:00 PM
Yes Shawn. All the Axis you sent me are in there. The 1pc Hybrid loves them. They are too weak for the Impala and CX

Post by: Tim Fishell on July 05, 2007, 07:34:00 PM
Just remember Dave, if you dont like what is in that box you can ship it right back to Michigan.

Great to hear you are able to get back into the swing of things!  And if you don't think that shooting is good....you must carry a butt load of extra nocks in your pockets.  Keep up the progression.

Niiiceee...but what happened to your beloved aluminums?

Easy does it.
Title: Re: The road to recovery with new pic
Post by: vermonster13 on July 05, 2007, 08:39:00 PM
The 2117s are aluminums Pete. I shoot whatever shoots best from each bow. Don't care what arrows are made of, the object is to turn them all red eventually.    :D

Shooting a bow is good medicine.

Glad to see you going at it.
