Default wow.....

well guys.....i finally "joined" you today.......my reflex highlander finally arrived!! i got off work at 7 and it was raining...played with it all and it stopped raining....ran outside with it and my target and 3 arrows in my quiver..figured i could get a littttle shooting in before dark..i was shaking....never shot a bow before and doing it in my backyard just seemed so.....wrong.....drew back..settled down.....touched off on the release..."HOLY $hit...what happened!?!?!" the target is white and i couldnt see my arrow in it with the white and yellow feathers on them. sure enough it was there...all i heard was WHACK from the arrow hitting the target..all i felt was the string whack me in the arm....i locked it that time!. stepped back drew another..let er go...let the 3rd go...i was rather impressed with myself...10yds or so and i shot a nice 1 inch group. 2 arrows were almost touching..fletching WERE touching...the bow is SWEET...smooth..silent...no shock...i will admit i noticed a TAD bit kick...it kinda rocked in my hand...i know i got ALOT of work but i cant wait for tomarrow...

Good to hear buddy, keep practicing and those deer will be in trouble in no time. One thing I would recommend is get out in the woods before season start, get in a treestand and when a deer comes by, go through the motions of getting your bow ready and making the shot (do not actually take the bow and shoot the deer ) just act like you have your bow and your getting ready to shoot a deer. This is something my dad told me when I started bow hunting and it was a wake up call. Before my first season I got out andI was pretty shocked at just how hard it was to go through the motions undetected.

Can't wait to see the pics and don't worry about the speed, my first 3 bows were slower than that, heck, my 2002 Hoyt MT Sport was shooting at 244 f.p.s. and it put a doe down with ease!
