Default I thought I could shoot...(Attention first year bowhunters!)

Well, I thought I could shoot. I got my bow back in order, set up at 20 yards (always 2 shot groups), and hit two with the shafts touching. I set up at 35, hit two with the fletchings touching. Set up at 50, two with the fletchings touching. Same at 65 yards. Got myself a BIG HEAD, walked away happy as hell.

And then something popped into my head. Figured I should set up the target, stand at ten yards, and shoot one arrow. Bullseye. Took a bunch of random steps back and to the side, try again, off about 3". Take more steps back to a random distance back and to the side, LOST THE ARROW. Took a bunch more steps back, (was somewhere between 40-50yds at this point), took the shot, and hit the target at the very top almost losing the arrow. Took steps foward to a random spot, and LOST THE ARROW.
My head has shrunk.....[&:]
