Wow! Is that shooting a compound bow or recurve?

Just curious, why are you shooting at such an angle to the target?
I thought I had the target squarely lined up to me, but I must have taken a step or two offthe target path without realizing it.... [:-]

I saw those targets at Wal-Mart but bought the other one, a 4 x 4. It was still cheaper than my old Block.
Hey, I saw the 4x4 target at Wal-Mart but didn't get it. I went ultra-cheap and got this 24x24x12 cheap compressed styrofoam target. It will work - for a little while anyways... I still need a better target though. I can't shoot the front of the target anymore without fear of a total passthrough.

Wow! Is that shooting a compound bow or recurve?
That is my old beloved 1996 PSE Edge 1000C lefty compound bow (the old round wheel dual cam style). It's 65# draw weight, 30" draw length, and 65% letoff. It's a real simple setup and easy to use. The thing that is funny is, it may be big, old, and slow, butI am comfortable with it and love the weight and balance of it. http://members.aol.com/ammonc/PSE-1000Ca.jpg

Hmmmm.... I guess as far as construction, the Slick Tricks blow away everything I have seen. These li'l buggers are all steel and built like a brick sh**house! But then again, the Magnus Stingers have "evil" factor going for them. They too are strong and rugged. But the sharpness factor of the Stingers is like something I have never seen before. I should send a funny joking email to Magnus and ask them, "Excellent broadheads - but how are you able to keep them in the package that you have? ha ha ha...." [8D]

that's a good grouping. Great job. Just thought I would let you know though. I bought that target a while back. It was good for while, but ofter just a couple of weeks. I lost 3 arrows![:@][:@][:@] I had complete pass throughs and the target didn't even slow them down. I now have that 4x4 and it's pretty good. It lasted me about a month and I'm about ready to get a block. Of course I shoot every day for a good hour, sometimes more. Hope I helped!

Thanks.... I know all about the cheap Wal-Mart target.... It's not going to last another month or so. What can I say - it was only like $15 bucks or something like that. I am leary of shooting the Slick Tricks into the front of it, because they punch such a huge hole and destroy the styrofoam instantly. The Magnus Stingers slice it to shreds but don't break it up into pieces. I'm afraid the Stingers will totally pass through another hole too! []
