What the heck! I never made fun of the two turkeys in your photo!
LOL just kidding. Ya it was kinda rewarding to hear that smack sound at first, Its rewarding and builds up self confidence for your shot placement in the feild. My first ones are ok, my local bow shop said he can put new nocks in and vains for 4 bucks but at that price might as well go to wally world and get new ones. But like you said you learn to use all five dots on the target after a while. But with my aluminum ones I was shooting diff dots But I think it was the way I was pulling them out. Thats why I like the carbons, alot more forgiving.
