Caught the last few minutes af the Olympic archers yesterday. Wasn't sure of the distance they were shooting but it looked like a pretty long shot. Anyways later that evening I was out in the yard shooting and decided to try some long distance shots....so, backed up as far as I could (approxamatly 70 yards) and let fly with 4 arrows. Now remember these are heavy hunting arrows. 2 missed the target completely, the other 2 were within about 8 inches of the center. But, I didn't do it the easy way either I ricocheted them off the ground into the target.... [Roll Eyes]

let's just see those hot shot Olympic archers try that
