[QUOTE="shootermcgavin, post: 1874748, member: 4527"] Last year I borrowed an old bow for archery season. This season (3 days ago) I bought a new bow. It is a Bear Encounter. Got the ready to hunt package. I love it so far, just fyi. But it is a cheaper bow. I mostly bought it because it was the cheapest of the bows I could find that would fit me well. (Even with the draw length as far as it will go, I still have to use a trigger release to get it just barely to the perfect length... or way closer than I had last season. But I digress... The reason I started this thread was to say that I shot an old bow maybe a total of 50 times last year. I shot this one about 10-15 times at Bass Pro before I bought to get it sighted in, and that is it. To have an amatuer like me being able to go out, and first shots shoot groupings as well as I did today is pretty crazy. Please don't misinterpret me for saying these are awesome groupings, or that I'm amazing or anything of the sort. Just that bows today sure do help a person out a LOT. This was at 30 yards.... aiming at the target the far right arrow is in. [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i685.photobucket.com_albums_vv214_shootermcgavin_30yards.jpg[/IMG] This was at 40 yards.... I was aiming at the center target, so elevation was good, just needed to adjust for windage or hold steadier or something. Still though.. grouping was good. [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i685.photobucket.com_albums_vv214_shootermcgavin_40yards.jpg[/IMG] And this was 50 yards.... aiming at center target, although I didn't have a sight for this distance, just had to guess off of the 40 pin. [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i685.photobucket.com_albums_vv214_shootermcgavin_50yards.jpg[/IMG] So in summation, I am quite pleased with my purchase, and am DEFINITELY a more consistant shot this year than I was last year.
