[recurve shooter]

hi guys. me and my buddie ian spent the last two days shooting gar. we would shoot all day, then break out the spotlight hooked to a car batterie and shoot till midnight or so. we saw tons, shot tons, easly fifty or sixty shots a piece, and in total we hit six. now, when last summer we would shoot swimming grabs, and snakes, we cant shoot worth a hoot. i killed five, ian got one. only got a pic of ian's, these are real little fellers, the big ones vanished. im off tomorrow, and im gunna get a rig for the bow i gave my little sister, and hopefully we can get her to stick one. last summer she helped me stick a five footer or so. unfourtunatly my arrow came out of it when i jumped on it to get it on the bank.  anyway here's the pic, hopefully more to come tomorrow night.

     Too many targets.  Just pick one, and concentrate on it.  Take your time.  The big guys will leave after the first couple of shots.
If you still want to put a coin on the butt of your knife handle, pm me, with your address, and I will send you a few to choose from.  Just send back the ones you can't use.  I used to gig gars, when I was younger.  Also......um, .....I ......uh......knew someone who....knew someone.....uh......that ......uh ......used to shoot them with a .22 rifle.   When are you guys going on your camping adventure?

I think I see the issue...your doing it left handed!!

Pick a spot on the fish just like you would with any other critter. I notice a lot of difference in my shooting when I aim at a spot on the fish instead of shooting at the fish. And shoot at bigger fish. They're easier to hit.
