Default what a day

I have been shooting alot the past few days, and this morning was the best day I have ever had. As of right now I only have 1 working arrow so my sessions are alot of walking and not much shooting. My first 3 shoots from my warmup spot (12 yards) all good shots, not bulleseyes just good shots. The next shots I moved back to 18 - 20 yrds and proceded to make all good shots, all would have been good shots on deer. Then I went in the woods behind the target and found a few spots that I had to put the arrow threw some small openings, first shot missed the target all toghther (20 some yards). I sifted threw the grass tell I found the missing arrow, ther it was now I am back in Business. Same spot, I let the arrow go, it sailed right trew the small opening between the two trees hiting the target dead on bullsey. I thought it was a fluke so same shot, and another bullseye (bullseye is about 3in in diameter). I move about ten feet to my left and had to crouch down to get it trew the trees, all I could see was a small part of the bulleseye trew the 2 ft tall grass, my arrow sailed right over the grass and another bullseye. I proceded to hit center 8 times out of my last 10 shot all from diferen angles in the woods. My final shoot put my only arrow some were in a 3 ft high stand of maples and I could not find it, so my great day came to an abrupt end.

I have now graduated from beginer to novice and i ow ya guys some thanks for all the help over year.

Latter all
