One of the last times I went to an Indoor range the guy next to did that three, yes three!, times in a row! It has absolutely hysterical! He got all mad and blamed it on his release after the second shot. I watched the third and as he was pulling back he has his finger on the trigger release the entire time, then smack, right into the ceiling! Good times....not for him of course

kind of what I thought. It was even funnier because that was the same day I had bought my last bow. I was hitting all bullseyes at 15yds within minutes of shooting it for the first time, he comes down and shoots three arrows into the ceiling - though they were all about 8 inches from eachother! That gave me a bit of a confidence boost needless to say!

well at least he was getting pretty good group, there in the roof.
Whatever he was doing he was doing it almost the same every shot

People that have to raise the bow way up to draw it always make me wonder.

Since that will probably not be the last arrow to reach the wall you should print this picture and hang it with the arrow. Make a sign for the top of the wall "Wall of Shame"!

Chuck actually told me he was going to add these to his garments back when Enigma was still just a design on his laptop.
LOL....maybe so, Buckeye.....but I guess Chuck's so nice .....he seemed surprised when I suggested it. I also had him move mine to a more user-friendly location on the garment (under the tab that he installed to hold the PA license). To my knowledge.....I was also the first one torequest this on my garment.

I always thought that they were overbowed when they have to do that. If you watch a lot of people who draw like that, they really look strained when they're drawing.

And I agree with aller on this - make a little sign to put up there and keep the arrows in too, and maybe a small pic of the culprits who shoot arrows into your wall - after a while you'll probably have arrows through pictures though .

I shoot 3D with a guy that has an 80lb. bow. It's hilarious to watch what he has to do to get his bow drawn. I think it's just bravado. I've heard it said that you're over-bowed if you can't set your sight pin on your intended target and draw your bow straight back. I have to agree with that.

Put the lad's photo up there!

you guys are right.
If you have to make all sorts of movement and noise just to pull your bow, you are drawing too much weight

What the heck is the point of having an 80lb draw on a bow anyway. You don't need that much with weight with todays compounds, unless you're trying to kill a Muskox or something....but a 3d target ....hmmmmm ..... cough overkill cough cough.
