I'm glad I found this nut!!!
« on: December 19, 2010, 12:51:00 PM »
In my intro I said I was new to traditional. It has been 35-40 years since I have shot a traditional style bow or any bow for the most part. Well I can tell you I should have my head read.  :knothead:  

I took my first shots with the Montana today and am I impressed.

No arrows were damaged but I did hear some klincking as they bounced off one another at the target. I started close and only want to shoot a few arrows each day until I get some form and proper muscles developed.

So at 10 yds, 50lb@ 28" and I'm drawing 29", using Easton 2115's w/ 125 gr field tip I managed to do this. The far left and high right I  knew as soon as I loosed the arrow that they were going elsewhere.  :rolleyes:   My first 2 shots were deadnut bulls.  :archer:  

I think I found a new love.....

does your montana have an elevated arrow rest?  Those look like plastic fletched arrows.  Just wondering how they fly.

They are plastic vanes and I'm shooting it off the shelf that has a small piece of felt on it. So far so good but as I said these are the first shots I've taken in a very long time. I have some feathered carbons on the way but until then it's the alluminums and a whole lot of fun,,,, I mean practice.

As you increase your distance you may have problems with those vane fletched arrows.
Have fun with it!

Looks like another great TRAD Archer is born again. I started shooting again two years a go, after not shooting for twenty years. I didn't realize what I was missing Good Luck with the carbons.
