Looky what the postman delivered
In my on going goal of spending more than I make, I went out and bought a new to me bow this week....... A Horne's Combo Hunter......55*28......
Got it in around noon yesterday and went and shot about 10 arrows or so and then had to go back to work.. 'Bout 7:30 last night I pulled it back out and decided to take some pics of my first 2 arrows from 10, 15 & 20..... I was pleased being the first day and all..... This thing is scary fast!!
10yds
15 yds
and 20 yds
The first one at 20 was perfect, then I had a flyer.... Actually my first was good at all distances and then I got cocky and screwed up the follow up shots
I went on and shot pretty good....... Still getting used to the almost 8 extra pounds!!! Feels like 20 extra
Seems like a great bow overall and I'm pleased with the purchase..

Congrats on a great bow double creek, bet you're gonna love it. My hunting bud ("Dances With Pigs") has one of those w/both recurve & longbow limbs, & w/either set it's a danged impressive performer! He likes it so much it's the one he picked to take on a 'once in a lifetime' caribou hunt we have planned for early this Sept.

So which one is going hunting with you?
Who knows, I may have it in couple of weeks What's the old saying....."The first step to recovery is admitting that you have a problem"
[8D]I want to get my hands on an Adcock, but dang if I can find one that someone will sell!!
Those groups suck compared to the way I was shooting this morning. It was one of those days where you just couldn't miss!!! Man I wish I had those everyday.

But the bow is a sweet shooter. As far as me ordering another one - I don't know. I may try something else sometime in the near future like an all wood longbow. - no carbon or glass.
