Title: Firs Robin Hood
Post by: afalmlen on May 05, 2009, 01:04:00 PM

Been bowhunting for ten years. Last 4 trad. Just got my new bow from Dave Beeler about a month ago. Was out shootin" the sweet little longbow, and it happened. 3rd and 4th arrow of the day, and first and second in the target. I was only about 12 or 13 yards away, but it's goin' on my wall.  A special thanks to Dave by the way for making a great bow. I enjoy shooting and am more accurate with this bow than I ever have been. Might be from just how comfy it is, and how quiet it shoots. Kudos!!

Thanks for the comments guys. I guess things happen in threes. I live in south central Nebraska about 1 mile north of the Platte River smack dab in the middle of a little town, and last week I got home from class and there were two Snow Egrets in our yard. Then a week before that I was crossing a little channel of the Platte, and sitting in six inches of water was a coconut. IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE! I got pictures of the egrets and the coconut and even took the coconut home for a nice little conversation piece for years to come.

I was thinking you did that with fir arrows; but then .... I thought this guy means 'first'.

 Good shot. But I warn you; you start doing that a lot and you will end up like me; afraid to shoot a group and break and arrow.    :rolleyes:
