Default one step closer

As most of you know, I still need to harvest my first animal, being in a non bowhunting country. So I'm taking small steps getting closer to my goal.
I just got one step closer, last weekend I went to a 3D shoot in the Ardens. 40 3D animals and 40 2D targets set in one of the most beautiful private domains in Belgium, around a castle.
Distances ranged from 10 to 60 yards and I shot 76 perfect kills.
I didn't miss any target, just the lethal area's on 2 moving targets and 2 on long shots. I shot a 3D boar at 60 yards right in the killzone and managed a 90 yard shot on a turkey, headshot.

This made me concluded that I have full confidence in my rig and set-up but most of all that my yardage estimates are correct.
This will not mean I will take over 35 yard shots !!!

I had such a great time that I'm going to organise a 3D shoot of my own here.
Pics will be added later today.
A full review of my set-up will be done after I get my new vaportrail string on.

Default here are the pics

I was one of the few compound shooters, most were trad shooters who shot as good as me
