I was thrilled. Now I never want to see another!

I have 5 spots on my bag target and had 6 arrows. None of the first 5 were all that well centered, so I let the 6th one go. It wasn't centered on the spot either, but missed by exactly the same amount in exactly the same direction......

In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

It would have been super cool if the first arrow had been centered on the spot. Seems I'm making the same mistake consistently   :rolleyes:

An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward.So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great.

Very Nice! The first time I did it I couldn't believe it and thought it was sooo cool! The next two times I did it, I was quite angry   :mad:  arrows are expensive and it seemed to happen whenever I was low on funds   :biglaugh:

Hey Bladepeek, consistency is excellent.  Now all you have to do it adjust your aim to dead center the targets :-)

Good shot
It's funny the first few we save then the rest we get perturbed It always happens with a brand new set of 12 arrows.

The first one is really cool. It is just money in the trash can after that.

Congrats on your first Robin Hood!

That would have been the second thought that crossed my mind if you cleaned up my thought language a bit   :)

That first one is kind of cool, but they just plain are expensive after that.
It will keep you from trying to shoot groups.

Just to keep things in perspective, every time I turn a bullet loose, it's lost to me forever (the club will eventually mine the lead from the berm).

Maybe an arrow every 4 or 5 years is not that expensive   :)
