My New Compound Bow

I had talked about getting a compound bow for years. It was something I thought I would enjoy and I am good with shooting guns so I figured I'd like to give it a try.

I bought a bow last Saturday. I really like it, it's a great bow and lightweight.

Tonight I took it out and got some shooting time in. It's the 3rd time I've shot and I don't want to toot my own horn but I did pretty dang good!

I would like to try a 3D shoot in the future but I need to keep practicing before I get in to anything type of competition.
















I didn't know what this was called until I talked to my BIL...it's called a Robin Hood. I shot an arrow in to another arrow. I was told to keep them together since it's not that common to have it happen.

  2. Wicked coolness! You look comfortable with the bow too, anyone would think you'd be shooting for a while. A Robin Hood, definitely worth saving. (Hugs)Indigo

  9. Very impressive. Great shots. Is that what you call them? I tried archery years ago and just couldn't make a go at it.

  10. Is that a picture of Lil Wayne you are aiming at?
    Seriously, you rock that bow. Attitude & substance. I hone too much of a cynical edge for anyone to ever let me loose with one of those. ~Mary

  15. Hi Lisa, You look like you've been shooting for ever. Good stance and style, evidenced by the group you shot. We got a compound for Vick a year ago and we shot once since then, but we've been busy with the farm ever since. We're almost done now and can pick these things back up and have fun again. I've been shooting for forty-five years and never shot a Robin Hood. Broke nocks, but never stuck one. Have fun and enjoy.....

  16. You look quite the pro in archery, Lisa. Even a bulls-eye hit there. Is Doug going to be your Little John? ;-)
