Whilst shooting a few arrows in the back yard before taking the "Archery skills test" to hunt on base, I found an effective way to waste about $10. The kick in the pants is I only shot the newly destroyed arrow twice, I fletched the new shafts last night. This was at about 18 yds, with a new bow (to me anyway) that came in on Monday, and I haven't shot a bow in about 5 years. I'll waste a new arrow in exchange for the confidence that it provided.

Thats a great shot, and money well spent.
Another reason to only shoot one arrow at a time...although I don't have that problem. Nice shot.
:thumbsup:
hate it when that happens.. :archer2:
There are much worse ways to break an arrow.
Every time I do that I cringe.....with a big ol smile on my face!
It is bittersweet!

God bless,Mudd
Makes for some confidence though!
cant think about money when it comes to arrows - someone once told me...."that is why they make more!"
Well, how did the skills test go? Too bad you could not have made that shot at the test.
I remember sound advice given a friend by another close friend who owned a traditional shop in Denver. Every time my one friend went in to purchase a dozen arrows, Bob would constantly tell him, "Don't shoot groups.".
money well spent for sure...GREAT SHOOTING!
Looks like a case of a well tuned arrow flying from skilled hands!

It went very well! It was a simple test though. One shot from an elevated platform at about 20 yds, into a 3D target, pass or fail. My first shot was perfect. The game warden said I could shoot another for "practice" with a look of disbelief on his face. That one was about 2" to the right of the first one. He looked at me and said "Well, I guess you can shoot that thing." There's nothing like changing people's minds.
