Default I think she is getting it! (pics)

Well now that it's nice out I have been working with my girlfriend on her shooting skills. She still has some problems with consistant grip and stance but she is getting much better.

I have got her to check her stance and grip before every shot and things tightend right up for her.

This is a group from the end of march when she first started shooting outside. I think it was at 20 yards.




This is one we shot this weekend at 20 yards.




She doesn't always shoot that well, but its getting to where she shoots better more often than she doesn't.

She was having some trouble with 30 and 40 yards. They were all over the place when she moved back. I took a closer look at her arrows and discovered they were a little stiff and only had 5% of FOC. Not too good with those little straight fletched vanes. I added some weight to the tips and things improved greatly at 30 yards.

She is starting to really enjoy it now. She doesn't think she is that good. I told her she is doing pretty good for the amount of time she spends shooting. I know guys that hunt and think they are decent shots that do not shoot as well she does.

I think I might try and teach her 6 year old next. He is a bit wild though, I don't know if I am ready for that, or if he would listen to me. I think I like showing people to shoot more than I do actually shooting?
