HOLY CRAP!!!!  it is all fun and games until someone gets their eye shot out Looks to me like the shooter was all over the place.. Run Eddie run... Hawk

  , Alcohol? I think that was the problem, none. It was early in the morning, I used to do it with Flu-flu arrows out of a 40 pound bow. This was Chris Cades 55#, BBO recurve with hunting arrows with a rubber blunt. I just wasn't in the mood to get hit in the hand that early in the morning. To grab them you have to reach for empty air as soon as the arrow leaves the bow. The speed is very decieving when you are watching it come at you. Hawk, you are right, some were high and some low, but I touched almost everyone. I had the little, white, burn streaks the fletching makes when you can't hang onto it.

 If you ever stand down range with a shooter you can trust, you will see how a deer can get out of the way and you will be suprised at the noise some of the fletching makes.

Yeah Staceys reflexes are getting real fast she called my old Australian shepherd up on the hay stack with her.. she said that way she was sure I wouldn't miss.. I really like that dog Hawk

Cool pictures Stacey.If Hawk does that when we are out in June then I can hold cardboard in front of you-WAIT that didn,t work for me before-ha! ha!It,s pretty cool to see the flex of the arrow leaving the bow.SHOOT STRAIGHT!!Lloyd

Does Stacey own a 4x4?

Awwesome pics.Really like the bent arra.

[hawkbow]

I own two 4x4's so, since she is the boss of me she owns them both...

Hawk, Kathie says you have me bested this time as there is no way she is getting in front of an arrow in flight. Cool pics.     Kenneth

Kenneth, I'd bet Kathie would get behind the arrow , wouldn't she!
Those shots of Eddie were at the camp-o-rama a few years ago and the last alcohol was the night before. He was just hung over!

[Little John]

Yep Pat she would probably trust me that far.  About bevery time I have taken her elk hunting she has somehow gotten between me and the elk and I have not shot her yet so looks she would trust me by now.    Kenneth

I can say that stacey has no real trust in me or my ability with a bow.. Luckily she is a picture taking addict, so... much like we bow addicts the chance of a rogue arrow slicing through her, holds no great fear as long as she gets the picture she wants.

[recurve shooter]

nice shooting, brave girl. i got some friends who will throw coke bottles in the air for me to shoot, but thats about as far as we will go.

[hawkbow]

Safety first..young hunter... I shoot thousands of arrows every month and am certain of my ability after thirty years of constant bow shooting... but still she is above me and I am shooting downward with all my shots.. still some danger but only if an arrow were to blow at release.. or if she were to make some smart comment concerning my shooting ability or form   be safe it only takes once to ruin your life or someone elses. Hawk

[recurve shooter]

so true my friend, and i compleatly understand that. they trust me enough to let me shoot something out of their hand if i asked them, but i only trie what i know i can do without hurting my friends, which are like brothers to me.
