Man ol' man!
« on: April 01, 2011, 10:17:00 AM »
One of my very best friends knows that I've recently got into traditional archery, we still shoot together but he's a wheelie guy, so yesterday his says "hey, wanna shoot some bows this evening?" and of course I said "come on down to the house when you get off work!"
He shows up, and pulls out a Damon Howatt Super Diablo 45#@28 60" recurve that has never even had a string on it! Beautiful!   :eek:   I asked him where he got it, and guess what, somebody just gave it to him!!!!! This bow was freakin sweet, I take it into the basement, get it strung and it absolutely shoots lasers;(we just connected  :D  ) I'm talkin my  first 3 shots were in a  2" group at 20 yards.  I asked him if he wanted to sell it, he says, no looks like it shoots good,   :banghead:    I'll just keep it!  Wish I'd have thrown a few crazy shots out there and said, "no wonder somenone gave you this thing, its a piece of crap!"  Some people have all the luck.   :dunno:    I bet this bow will set in his closet from now on!!!    "[dntthnk]"

Just ask him again later if he's not using it he might change his mind.

Maybe he'll need a few Bucks for something in the future, maybe his next Wheelie bow, then make an offer again. Good Luck!

Maybe it will inspire him to start shooting trad with you.

I sure hope so, this kid is natural at firing any weapon!  If he just stuck with trad for a little while he'd be deadly!

I've had several super d's in the past and they are great shooters.  I still wish I had one around.  I wouldn't try to buy it from your friend I would try to get him shooting it.  We all know how addictive this sport can be.

Ya did it all wrong!!!!  You shoud've shot really poorly and give him $25 to take it off his hands.

Well my bud came over again 2nite, we went on a little roving trip.  I couldn't believe it when he pulled out the "Diablo" instead of the mathews! That makes twice that he's left his wheelie at home now!

An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward.So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great.

You should teach him to shoot out of his wheelchair ,If he's capable of doing that .I have seen quite a few guys doing target stuff in wheelchairs .
