That makes 2 of us. Sighted my new bow in yesterday, hitting the vital areas on every shot. Was practicing today...all of a sudden it started shooting BADLY to the left, wasted a couple XX75's as they hit the fence post...re-sighted and shooting okay now...I have no idea what that was all about.

Well I just started this bowhunting adventure, and I removed two field pointed arrows from the maples in my back yard by drilling holes with a battery operated drill around the shafts until the wood was almost gone around the them, pulled right out after a few minutes of wood removal...

Gonna go out tomorrow for the first time, gotta stand right next to creek crossing that heads to an alfalfa field with some big tracks in it. I have promised myself that I would shoot the first deer that presents inself with a clean shot within 25 yards

Good luck guys! And gals?...

Well I can tell you all that I worked on them arrows for some time. Because they were in so deep(about 4in) I was not about to cut into the treeto get them out, one maybe but notfour. I would have really screwed up the tree (not a very big tree) I tried to get them to spin so I could unscrew the field point butI could not get them to budge I mean they were like glued in!

I am still not sure about the single pin sight, though I was able to get it sighted in out to thirty yards.However, that is on atarget and not the real thing. I have never used a single pin sight andit may be too late (season starts Oct 1st)to get used to it. I will put the multiple pin sight back on if I don't feel I can get the job done with the single pin. I just need to shootalot this week to see how it feels.

Thanks for the tips all but I don't think anything could have helped short of cutting into and severely damagingthe tree and that wasn't an option. Plus, cuttingclose enoughto the arrows in order to get them free would have probably resulted in nicking the arrows and I would not use them again anyway.
