Caught the trad bug a year ago and took my daughter to the kzoo expo. Picked up my first dozen of wood arrows and having a blast shooting during my planning period. Just had to share this group (pic to follow once I email MikeW here shortly). Been practicing at 15 meters. Was visualizing that deer crouching on the sound of the release :D At least that's the story I'm sticking too.
I have to say, it's great having some quality time with my 18 yr old daughter, and expose her to some truly friendly folks that were helpful and willing to have a conversation. Plan on going to Comptons and experience what many of you have enjoyed for years. :archer2:
Yea let's see your group. Trad is diffently a life changing experience, glad to see you have got your daughter interested in it. Waiting on my 9 year old son to get home, to show him his first recurve. I really didn't know what I was missing all these years, shooting wheels, but I'm glad I coverted to trad. God bless.

If you keep that up your going to need more arrows. Very nice group, nice shooting.
With you shooting like that you need to start shooting one arrow groups. Your arrows will last longer.
Nice group. I would not shoot another group for fear of robin hooding one of those beautiful arrows.
Wow Mike, now that's a group to be proud of!!
Find a multi spot target or you're going to have to invest in a fletching jig!
Good shooting!
Great shooting! I do the same all the time....At 5 yards :rolleyes:
That's better than a Robin Hood in my view. Arrows still intact and a "pretty nice" group!
Looks like a heart shot instead of a double lung.
Nice shooting...now for the big question, did you buy the bow that you did that with?
Thanks for all your comments. I kinda thought it was better than a robin hood too. That's what prompted the picture. I shoot a (1973-74 I think, has curved design in the riser) DH hunter 45# @ 28" I purchased at a yard sale. Speaking of fletching, the feathers that touch the shelf are getting fairly frayed. Think I need to put on some hair and strike plate because I've just been shooting off the bare shelf. Anyway, I'll probably never shoot a group like that again, just fun knowing it can happen. :thumbsup: to all.
Great shooting!
Are those Brandywine arrows?
Nicely done, on any account.
Killdeer :clapper:
Yes, the arrows are Brandywine.
