Default 18yd group. How am I doin?

Shot a couple groups at 25yds....then stepped up and shot this one from 18.

If you haven't tried this.......I highly recommend it.

Not bad, not bad at all! You might want to try and slide the quiver hood and grip closer to the riser! My Montana shot better this way!

Hey BHF....Not sure if you knew...but this is my Montana. I can't get 'em any closer with the tape on there. I'll re=tape it before the fall....and do that. Heck, you're right. I should go ahead and do that, now.....then re-tape it.

I just shot this group from 10yds.....which will be my limit this fall.

Yeah I knew it was the Montana, not bad groups at all. I don't have the tape on my limbs so I'm sure there both shooting different! Are you planning on hunting with the quiver on???

You ever look at onestringers limbsations, I think thats what they're called, covers the back of your limbs only! Or another one is called skin eez, preety cool designs!

Looks like you need to practice some more to me.

Never seen the onestringers stuff. This tape is awesome. It doesn't stick to anything except itself. It doesn't stick to my bow. Yeah....I'll be hunting with the quiver on. I tried it last year a couple times without it.....but it sucked. I actually like the way the bow shoots with the quiver on, better.

I am gonna get a back quiver, though. Matter of fact.....I'm gonna order one as soon as I find one I like.

VA.....it'll be strictly the longbow until I take a deer with it.....even if that's all year.

The only exception is......if I get a bruiser on the new property on a summer feeding pattern and see an opportunity. Then I would take the compound. I expect to be in my woods, here, opening day.....longbow (only) in hand.
