let's see your groups
« on: August 29, 2012, 11:11:47 am »
This is my first robin hood in a long time! Might be my first ever with primitive. I'm startin to feel good about my draw. I was havin trouble with short darwing the bow and I think I'm about to work out of that. I guess the proof is in the split!  :'(

This was about a 15 - 17 yrd shot. Huntin season is either here or right around the corner, so let's see them practice groups! No shame in being honest!  :laugh:

Very Nice!!! I'll try to get some groups or (lack there of) this evening. I shoot a 50# 28" draw Martin Venom longbow. I have shot traditional for the past 7 years but am going to try my hand at reducing some tree's to bows sometime soon. I love the thought of going primitive, just doing my research.  :D

PRIMITIVE ARCHERY what other way can you play with sticks and rocks all day and not look like a little kid

Ok, shooting in the "dark" when we all know THEY come out... First the target at 12 yds.. And then a group from a halfeye bow pulling
57# at 25" and it measures 49". Game is hit all the outside targets and then the bull is fair game. I ain't got the flat grip down but... Arrows
are from Wally ,vanes, and what I use to shoot in my bows.


Had to bring it in the shop to take the pic. Ain't me bro, it's the stick.

  One of the reasons I only shoot one arrow at a time. When shooting groups if a bad habbit comes about to teach yourself alot faster to do it.
 With one arrow you just like hunting learn the one chance thing.
  Shooting one arrow differently helps with teaching yourself bad habbits.
  Plus who don't need the exture walking.

Nice shooting Lane!!

@ CA - I have heard and used that strategy in the past, but right now I need the repetition to help build muscle memory. As I get closer to my opening day I will switch to only shooting one arrow and start building that "pressure shooting" into my game as well.

Okay, so that is actually the best of two groups combined. Had to re-shoot three arra's to get
what you see. Don't know......maybe the shafts were a little crooked? :D :D ::)

I'm ok with everyone who just wants to shoot one arrow. Nothing wrong with that. Take 3 shots and show us where they're hittin.

Jon, hedge, and Del - nice shooting! Looks like you're ready for season as well (uh, sorry Del  ::) )

Well, I am very humbled now.  Just got in from shooting, and shot ABSOLUTELY horrible.  Couldn't hit the broad side of a barn if I was standing inside!!  The last arrow I shot missed the target completely and sailed into the neighbor's yard. NOT GOOD.  Hated to end the session on a sour note, but I just couldn't trust myself to be safe and responsible.

I have been improving all summer to the point where I was regularly shooting the above groups, and now this!!  Bummed.
