Default RE: BOW BUILDING PICS- UPDATE !!

Dan

I cseem to see thje photo...... Anyway - I hope I can hunt this year with it - Hogs anyway........ I want to become more consistant first as its been a while since I shot instinctive..... I still have to finish it - all I need to do is spray it..... I was shooting it today and was quite surprised how well I did considering it was a new bow and my long time parting from instinctive shooting style. I did really good out to 15 yards but was marginal at 20-25.....
The bow shoot great. I paper tuned it - first just a bare shaft to get the spine right..... I got it shooting a bullet hole - I was quite surprised how straigt it shot. I then re-fletched some 5575 GoldTips I have and put 5" Shield feathers on them with my new arrow fletching jig and went shooting a few hours later - It was so much fun--- I loved it. I loved being able to hold my bow almost horizontal and shooting it - my kids really thought that was cool - I was doing it at a mere 10 yards and drilling bullseyes...... But all in all it shot great - I am very pleased. I just have to get serious now instead of just blazing away and get 'tuned in' to this particular bow.......

Ill try to download your pic......
