Who are the Forum Archers?

I've been shooting tennis balls in the back yard as practice and my arrows haven't disappeared...? Maybe it's because of my draw weight being too light. I'm planning on turning it up a little each week. I don't have scales to measure the weight of my draw at the moment but it's definitely much less than 55lbs. I'm guessing 25-30lbs.

Yeah might be a poundage thing or a soft vs hard earth?

Yeah a target tip will do the trick. Here's a video on it:

Jesus I'll never get those eight minutes back. But yeah sweet as I'll give it a go. Hopefully weather will clear and some bunnies will die soon

[QUOTE=Dougie;323432]I got someone to teach me with her compound, I've done everything else just by google search. Had my bow two days now and had it sighted in within two hours of opening the box of bits. Now shooting milk bottles very consistently at various ranges from 10yards to 25yards.

Once you have hunting and humanely killed a milk bottle, do you take it home, chill it for a day then drink it?

I actually hang it and stuff it with frozen venison to cool it down, then butcher and let age for a few days before freezing.

My old man is that guy who walks quietly onto an ABA bow hunting course and then beats all the sighted compounds with his bare longbow. Wish I had half the guys skill with that thing. I even bought a Bearpaw longbow I from Germany and made my own spruce arrows. Turns out I'm still rubbish with a bow haha. I do like the look of those Mathews type bows tho. It's surprising how much more you get for your archery money these days

I got a Hoyt off a friend a couple of months ago and I'm hooked. Bows and bowhunting are superwickedawesome... So far I've got a couple of goats and two turkeys. Tried a rooster with small game heads and learned that you need something with blades because the feathers are so damn thick anything else just bounces off in a great big puff of feathers.
