This fella had never shot a bow before in his life . It was like a blank slate . His form came in perfect as I talked him thrue it and he did it correct every time he shot .
This group was at 15 yards about 20 minutes after his very first arrow .
I think his statement was " Oh my God this is so much fun . "
Then the questions , how much is a bow , where do I get arrows , .....
I think he is infected .

Oh no , not my Dwyer !
:nono:
:bigsmyl: :clapper:
Looks like a natural for sure. What is that beautiful bow he was shooting?
That bow is a Dwyer Dauntlessly 55# @ 28".
Funny thing is , he is a rifle paper poker .
He told me he tried a compound about a year ago and couldn't understand the point of it .
He isn't a hunter but the first arrow of that group was about an inch from hitting the bottle cap and I said " that's a dead deer ."
And he said "really !? "
I was amazed that after I talked him threw a few shots his form was near perfect .
He then asked " how do I aim it ? "
I told him to just shoot and his subconscious would do it for him . Told him to just drop the string when it feels right .
Didn't even explain the gap method .
It is absolutely infectious when you let a guy that has never shot a bow before shoot yours and he hits his spot. Always makes me smile.
Truly some people are naturals. My son did the same thing with the first bow I made him. He was a compound shooter and after the first shot at 30 yards he stacked the next five arrows in a tight group right under the bull. Like he had been shooting a stick bow all his life. Its really amazing.
God bless, Steve
Nice!!!
Don't let him shoot ANY more.
After that group in just 20 minutes, it will only go downhill from there! :rolleyes:
Great work! I owe my traditional journey to a seasoned traditional archer and his time coachinv me. Dang! I can't shoot that well after years of practice. :clapper:
Way to go Graps! :clapper: :archer2:
Awesome Graps! I don't think I ever took someone shooting who was all "this is stupid" "this isn't fun" when they do it and have fun it's a great experience for all. Great job!
It is an infection with no cure. Way to go.
That smile says it all. He's hooked. :thumbsup:
