lol, trainin weels. if a stick and string can sink a flawless half dozen in a 3d at 20, they got no excuse. its a shame. even with the help of their training wheels they cant outshoot a REAL bow.

Hey Gene. If nothing else, it will help you concentration on shot placement. ::) Them cows get expensive.  ;D    Pat

ps. the carpet should stop your arrows just fine. Just hang it from the top so the bottom will move when hit and help absorb the shock.
