Title: 1st Shot! 2nd and 3rd shots added by request
Post by: Mudd on February 22, 2010, 03:49:00 PM
I couldn't believe it!! My new-to-me MOAB 60" 47@28 was mailed from Canada on Thursday and it showed up at my house today. Unbelievable!!!

I wasn't counting on it arriving until late this week or maybe if I was lucky early next week. Good job USPS(Killdeer and crew)!!!!!

I couldn't wait to fling an arrow. This was my very 1st shot out of it. I was 28 yards out when I loosed! Needless to say I was thrilled!! I stopped right there came into the house and borrowed the wife's camera and after the normal fight with it managed to get these pictures.

Assuming they show up.... Thanks for looking!!
God bless,Mudd

Ok so when are you going to start the tuning process - foc - left wing vs right wing - spine calculations and nock height and brace height  - silencer type etc.

 :biglaugh:    :biglaugh:  

Your not supposed to be able to just pick it up nock any arrow and just shoot it THAT GOOD BUD

Congrats - jer

You guys are tough!!!...lol

I was just reading the other day that the only arrow that counted was the 1st one. Now I've got to go out and shoot number 2 and 3.

Can I move up to say... a reasonable distance of maybe 15 yds for the next 2?

God bless,Mudd

OK! I took the challenge! I only took 2 arrows with me but I did move up to 15 yds.
Here are my next two arrows.

Thanks for looking!

I think Killdeer hit it. Which target were you shooting at and what did that pretty pink straw ever do to you.

Love the  look of that bow.

Not quite as tight a group as the first arrow.
But they are really nice bows. I want one to.

Is it me, or is that bow cut more to center than most of the MOABs?

Oh yeah, nice shooting and beautiful bow.

I have MOAB #00001 and it happens to also be 47#. You will soon discover what I did which is that you will spend a lot of time dragging dead game and not much time hunting when you take that bow afield.

I believe this was truly a case of luck and there are days that I'd rather be lucky than good.
I'm lucky I could block out thinking about what I was attempting to do long enough to make the last 2 shots.
I doubt anyone was more surprised than I was.

I'd be willing to bet that my 1st 3 today wouldn't be nearly as close to the little red(not pink) straw.

I am considering giving it another try today then retaking and posting the photos regardless of where they are, at the risk of embarrassing myself.

What say ye?

God bless,Mudd

Roy,
Don't let the fact that you missed the straw all 3 times discourage you, it'll get better!
Lol.........lol.......that's good shootin buddy.
Very nice looking bow as well. I've been watching you scratch around trying to find you a Moab so much it's got me wanting one too. Glad you got you one.
                          Good Luck,

It's made by one of sponsors Thunderstick Archery/ Jim Reynolds is the bowyer and you'd be hard pressed to find a better bow or person.

I haven't ever read anything negative about his bows or him. I enjoy his company!
