zeroing in!

[Pat B]

I was out shooting this afternoon and almost robinhooded this arrow.   I thought it was pretty cool  until I remembered these are self nock arrows and this was my only viburnum arrow.    I may try to repair it but that will be later. I still have 8 left.   By the way, these are just my practice arrows. Not my hunting arrows. The artificial sinew wrap didn't survive the hit.

That looks like it counts to me- terrific shot !!!

I pity any poor deer that wanders too close to you this season !

[Justin Snyder]

Nice shot Pat.  I quit shooting like that Pat.  I have 5 spots on the target to shoot at.  I shoot one arrow at each spot then gather them up.  Justin

[Pat B]

Justin, usually I try not to shoot at or near other arrows but I was shooting at a 3D deer and this was going to be the kill shot!
  Kegan, All I need is the opportunity!

[Justin Snyder]

Pat, if you can make it out here in the next 2 months I can guarentee a shot at an elk.  Justin

Nice shot!  The only time I hit other arras is when they have self nocks.  The only problem is, is that both arras are not where I was trying to hit.

Nice shot Pat! I usually do like Justin and shoot five spots on the target.......but oh yeah, I'm only aiming at one!

I did that once and they were stuck together perfectand the artifical sinue did dold, kind of a hollow victory as neither arrow was in the bull and one arrow was ruined. Any way looking good and glad they weren't your new hunting arrows.    Kenneth

Did someone say "ELK HUNTING" where? and when? 

[Pappy]

Nice shot,but I hate it when that happens. jamie sent me some footed shafts and I cut in the nocks and fletched,the first shot I split one just like yours and at first I thought COOL,but that only lasted a second then I realized what I had done.

Nice shot Pat but I concur with Pappy. Looks cool     but the reality of it sinks in quick. "Lord what have I done".     I use plastic nocks on the arrows I shoot in my indoor range, about 18 yards. I have often hit one or more of the self nocks and cried out loud. Don't do that anymore.
  BTW I have three of your iron shafts tapered. Good GOD what are those shafts made of. Serves me right for volunteering.

Dick, Those are ash shafts Jamie made and sent me. They have been curing in my basement for a few years. 

[Scowler]

That is the only problem with "primitive"(self) arrows.  Once you bust a nock you have to make a new arrow.  Excellent shooting, though.

[Pat B]

Scowler, I will attempt to repair this arrow. I have done it with cedars with self nocks that I split. I have plenty of shafting but I want to see how it will work out to repair.  I'll try to photo the process...when I get around to it!      Pat
