Default RE: How long did it take you?

ORIGINAL: HuntingBry

Il-Cornfed, I'm with you. My first bow was a Bear Whitetail Hunter 60 lbs. with a 50% let-off. Draw length? I had no idea there were different draw lengths back then. I shot with an old lambskin shooting glove. My rest was a rubber stick on rest. My sight was a piece of aluminum with two slots cut in it and the pins were brass. To adjust them you had to unscrew one side and tighten the other for horizontal adjustment and doing so usually threw off your vertical. Those were the days.

How familiar that sounds! I had the same bow, same sights, same rest. LOL. As well, I had no idea what I was doing. I guess I was 18-19 Years old, had only hunted with a firearm.

Man those were the days.
