I just bought my first bow!
« on: August 22, 2009, 08:27:00 PM »
I just bought my first bow.  It is a PSE Impala recurve 60" with a 50# draw.  It is a takedown model brown with black limbs and it is left handed.

I am soooooo excited.  I am going to start practicing tomorrow, so I can hopefully be ready for Georgia's bow season.  I plan on hunting with a naked bow.

Just wanted to express my joy!     :jumper:

Great Todd- now get out there and kick some butt with it! There isn't a better way to spend some time than flinging arrows. Beats the heck out of flinging golf balls!!!!!

I hope you have many years of fun with your new bow. Don't wear yourself out, that is a respectable poundage! Let 'em fly, and may the arc of a long shot bring you joy, even if you can't find it later.

After just shooting for a few hours, I have learned one thing....the ground can magically eat an arrow.  I have one that I just can't find..

I use my gaff from spoonbill season to find arrows.  If you don't have one just make a hook out of metal and drag the ground with it.  Usually my arrows are within 20 yards of the target when I miss.  Umm I mean if I miss which is almost never he he he.

Welcome to "group" unlike most things that you need counseling for you will be encouraged by all involved to feed your new addiction,in the bow buying and the arrow losing(you can't shoot without losing or breaking equipment)department BUT the inmates running the asylum are good honest helpful people with a wealth of knowledge,and I count myself lucky to have become acquainted with this site,HOARDE ON!!!!!!!!!!
