Default wasting arrows

Was down to 5 good arrows last week. Robinhooded one. Down to 4. Tonight came home to shoot. Shot 6 shots. Right. Another one down. Took awhile to break in the new string and cable but looks like I'm there. I normally don't stack them in the same target but had a lot of trouble breaking in the new string for some reason. Totally changed my sight and rest numerous times and still seemed a tad off. Finally started over and reset everything. I think I'm pretty close now. Now I need to beg Momma for some new arrows.

Great shooting! It's time for a 3 spot target or a big 10 point.

Nice shootin'. There is only one better way to lose an arrow and it will be here soon.

well, if you are gonna lose them in a non-hunting incident....thats the way to go....when i was sighting in my bow, i was using a crappy styrofoam walmart target and the bullseye was wore out so I was shooting at the back 4 small targets and I was shooting at the bottom left, it just happened to be next to my clothesline poll and it hit the metal pole, and broke the arrow off a couple inches....i would much rather have robin hooded the arrow and been sighted in, then lose an arrow and realize i got some more shooting to do...

I try to shoot a design into my target, like a smiley face, with the arrow placement. I hardly ever aim for the nock of a previous arrow. Too darn much $$$$.
