Default It only took 25 years...

I started shooting a bow when I was 7. I have had many broken nocks, ripped out arrows, and near collisions. Tonight, I finally stuck one. I was practicing for antelope hunting out of my ground blind. I was just starting at 30 yards . These were the first two arrows shot tonight. I was shooting 25 3/4" Easton XX78 2317 out of my Bowtech Allegience set at 70 pounds. It drove the field point of the second arrow 4 inches into the first shaft. I was pretty stoked... It is now hanging on the wall!

Picture of the center punched nock( sorry my camera didn't like the bright color and close photography)

Congrats on the great shooting! Don't make that a habit or it will get expensive.
