i want to thank my dad for passing on the archery gene! i always heard he was a great archer and bowhunter from him and other guys, and remember his collection of robinhoods from 15+ years ago when he hung up the bow.
today was my first day of shooting with the new Reflex Highlander as many of you know. after getting decint groups at 10, 15 and even measurable groups at 20yds i figured it was time to dial in the pins. id shoot a group and take a break and adjust. i was trying to get my top pin dialed dead on at 15yds. seems like a good starting point for the time being. ill let the pics speak for them selves.....
heres a pic of the new rig..bad pic..batteries were dying on me
ill let these pics speak for them selves.....
although you guys will cry beginners luck im actually impressed with myself thus far. i havent steppedback passed 20yds yet but im working on the pins right now...i should have known not to shoot more then one arrow at a target point..i had many touching arrows...i dont shoot upto par with you guys yet.....but im on my way!! practice makes perfect.....but that was a sickening sound i knew something went wrong. my first thought was holy chit i hit the fence!
will my 2nd arrow be fine to shoot??? i inspected it and it looks fine after i pulled it out of the first arrow..and pulled the inside of the first arrow off....it looks ok? no cracks or spilts..insert wasnt pushed back or anything because of the bag target...the arrows never come out the back of the bag...that second arrow pushed the first through...i bet id have 2 busted arrowsif i was shooting a stiff target....
i am also emailing the pics to huntersfriend and thanking them for the job well done. i know its only 15yds but i think thats good for never touching a bow before.........
