Back in archery after a 43 yr. abesnce
The last time I shot a bow, recurves were just starting to hit the market. I started hunting with my son 3 years ago after a 15 yr absence. (Was busy fishing and into Corvettes) Didn't realize how much I missed it till I started hunting again. I hunt during regular gun season plus muzzleloader. At the end of this season I thought I want to spend more time in the woods so why not try archery? Went with my son yesterday to the local BassPro store. They had a PSE bow on sale for 25% off. Drawing on my son's 10 years of bow hunting knowledge, I got a PSE Typhoon bow, wisker biscuit rest, pendulum sight, and cobra release to use with the ultra knock. They set the bow up for me ask let me shoot a few arrows at their range. Shot 3 arrows from 10 yards as the guy made a few adjustments. Backed up to 20 yards and shot the next 3 arrows into a 3 inch dot. I can't get over how much technology has advanced since I last shot a long bow. There is no vibration fom this bow, the let-off makes it easy to hold on traget, there is very little noise when the arrow is let go, and it seems easy to hit what you aim at. I now have the next 8 months to practice before bow season next fall. Now if my wife just doesn't see the new bow in the basement I'll be all set.
