A first for me
« on: May 15, 2011, 01:22:00 AM »
Well, you guys have done it now.  I may have to quit trying to put more than one arrow in a spot.     :archer2:  

Seriously, in the past I never had to worry about it.  Just 20yds. but.......thanks again for all the help.
 
 

At least it was just some old aluminums.

Great shooting! Now you just need twice as long of a draw length to shoot that arrow(s) again.

I'm a pretty honest guy, and from that angle you can't see all the holes in that target, but some of them are pretty scattered from trying different methods of aiming. Concentrating on a very small spot (the previous arrow) actually worked.......finally.

Considering our economy, I'd be the first to say "buy American", but the bow was a gift from my wife and does shoot very nice.  It's a Samick and the first take-down I've had. Pretty noisy. What's the best silencers?

Depends on how "traditional" you'd like to go. First make sure that you find the sweet spot in the brace height without silencers. After that, personally, I like leeches for the string and limbs supressors for the limbs at the fade outs. Also mole skin for the backs of the limbs if and where the string touches.
