Default Christened The 82nd

Well not as big as I would have liked but the new bow is christened.



35 meters right after dark hit him with an Easton FMJ tipped with a G5 SGH.
He never knew what hit him, what the firearms guys call a bang flop I guess. More of a whizz flop with a bow
The arrows were a birthday present along with a couple of Lumenocks, I am liking the Lumenocks, they are great for shooting in dim light. The FMJ's slow it down a bit, but thats not really a problem with this new bow

Still having trouble grouping on a target but I seem to shoot better at a "real" target.

I am getting a peep put on this weekend which should improve my accuracy.

P.S
No I didn't shoot him in my kitchen, it was too dark out to take pics with the cell phone and I left the camera at home.

Shooting fingers with the 82nd????

That's a man-sized pull, there. Kudos.

(Great shot, too)
