I'm really happy that your bow finally got to you.

I had said that I'd have to wait until Monday to get my bow.

Well it can't get here sooner than Thursday now.

Dagnabbitt!!!!!!

God bless, Mudd

Awwww I'm sorry to hear that Mudd! Hope it appears sooner then that. I can't wait till tomorrow to try and shoot it. I have a study group tonight. So no playing for me. :p soon though. Thursday after class I'm going to visit the pro shop and get things looked over and then shooting in the evening. So excited!!

junk mail is ABSOLUTELY NEVER late...but let me expect a bow or accessories and the whole system hits a wall!!!!! it is NOT my imagination.

Junk mail is never late. Unless it's actually a good coupon for a good sale. Then it comes in the day after the sale ended. But it's not your imagination!

Siloutemirage, I'm sure I'm not the only one hoping to hear about shooting your new bow. Have you been able to? If so, how was it? Are you as deeply hooked on it as many of the rest of us? I know after I was finally able to get a newer recurve last December after many years away due to a shoulder injury, I couldn't stand the wait to shoot it. Some days I even have to shoot a few arrows in my basement before work, at lunch etc. Never felt so strongly about it when I shot a wheeel bow.

i finally was able to shoot it last night. it was fun. definatly different. i didnt however get a whole lot of time to try it though, cause i got to the range several hours late, and they were practically closing. (that and i met up with a friend who was interested in archery. so i spent time introducing her to my wheelie.)

over all it was enjoyable, but i also didnt know what i was doing. but i guess i knew enough not to loose any arrows. of course it was only at 10 yards or so... im assuming it wasnt really marked. i couldnt hit the target at 20 yards. it was two funny attempts though.

Pics! finally... some that are good looking!

This is as she came. i will eventually remove the shelf rest, and give it a good cleaning, and figure out what i want to replace the rest with. for now she shoots just fine the way she is.
