Default Finally my Shooting Explanation!

As some ofyou know Mr JFergus7 and me went shooting about a week ago and he called me out on a very bad shot.
Just a quick recap I was shooting about 28 Yards and I let her fly and this arrow hit the frame above 3 bails.
The target was on the middle bail and this is how I ended up with my sig in blue below.[:@]

Ok so I went and shot this past Thursday at the 20 yrd range and seem to be shooting pretty dang good.
Still a bit tad high though for my liking. So I went over to the 30 yrd and shot 3 times and each time it went higher.
I was using the damn 20 yrd pin and it did this. So I decided I was going to take the rest of my pins and slide them
down out of the way and use 1 pin for a bit to see what was going on. Well when I went to grab the housing the pins were
in it slide down on me.[&:][&:][&:]That damn unit been sliding up and down on me the whole dang time and driving me nuts.
I just got the bow back from a new string and cables put on and assumed I did not have to check anything.
Well let this be a lesson check everything anyways as it will save you big embarressment from the HNI crowd.
You should be checking your bow all the time anyways and I usually do.
So Mr JFergus7 you are mine now pal!

SOB my wife just hit my car backing out of the driveway! chat ya all later

She backed up and tried to go around the recycle bins instead of getting out and moving them out of the driveway.
The storms last night blew them between the end of her car and the fence.
Dented drivers side quarter panel and scraped some spots to the metal.[:@]
I parked where I did because of the storms and had a neighbors tree fall on my other car a few years back.
Right now I am currently over analyzing the whole thing and this is not good.
So I am going to take a pic of JFergus head with me and put it up on a target and go shoot my bow.[8D]

Greg something like in this pic but the outside bracket is clear. *Cheap*
I am going to take this off and put it on my 11 yr olds browning that needs one. Probably head out to gander mountain shortly for a new one.

You can put pictures of my face all over all 3 hay bails. You will still probably miss them all!!!! Probably better off taking a staple gun and putting the pictures on the frame!!!!

Are we still shooting tomorrow morning?
