Title: Marathon shooting session
Post by: Mudd on April 05, 2013, 04:18:00 PM
Bruce came over this morning and he just left a few minutes ago.

We have had a serious arrowing marathon and it was great!

Bruce is the real deal when it comes to shooting a bow.

I captured a few photos of him shooting some different bows.

I pulled out almost every bow I own and some that I don't...lol

Thanks for the work out Bruce. I really enjoyed your company.

God bless,Mudd

It was a great time shooting with Mudd!  He is a nice welcoming man who is passionate about his God and traditional archery.  Mudd is the type of man who has a positive outlook and one you can count on to encourage you. I really appreciate the time I invested with Mudd and his collection of bows.  He's also a decent shot.

Here are some things I learned during our shoot today:

1. One cannot have too many bows or good friends.

2. Straight limbed or string follow bows are NOT harder to shoot than reflex deflex bows.

3. Straight limbed or string follow bows do NOT necessarily have more handshock than RD bows.  I actually found the opposite to be true with the bows I shot today.

4. Hill style bows with Howard Hill's name on them are not inherently the best Hill style bows just because his name is on them.

5. In reference to the last point, a bowyer or a bow company cannot be judged after shooting/inspecting only one of his specimens.

6. I NOW REALLY WANT A HILL STYLE BOW!

Thank you again, Mudd, for a wonderful time shooting and getting to know each other.

Bruce

Bruce,
You made some really good points about shooting HH style bows & an excellent point about Roy. Looking forward to meeting you in the near future.

7. Wearing a Robin Hood hat makes you look like an outlaw.

Arkansas Osage,

It's a nice change to be on the other side of the law sometimes, or at least in appearance!  I'm with the MSHP.


I look forward to meeting you too, Butch.  Something tells me Mudd will be present when we meet!

Outstanding Roy! Shooting alone is sometimes good but, shooting with friends is even better. Glad you two had a good session.   :wavey:
