    So after 2 weeks of not being able to get out, I spent a morning and re-did the paper shooting at 2 yards instead of the 10 yards I tried before

    some photos:

    Old tripod makes a handy bow stand.

    A couple of good ones, but my form is all over the place in the beginning. The arrows are all pretty parallel in the target.

    @ 20 yards, starting to sight in, the big target is a banana box, the small one a wine box. I had to stop, the arm muscles used in compression holding the bow, started to go. Still, I'm happy with the grouping at this early stage.


    Again, I'm not trying to be a know it all, but as this is all new to me, my experiences may help other newbies.
