Success! Higher than a kite!!
« on: August 12, 2008, 07:46:00 PM »
Finally!! After flinging literally thousands of arrows - mostly in my backyard 17 yard range, I am consistently shooting three inch groups centered on the quarter sized bulls eye. I just shot over 50 arrows and not one was more than 5 inches from the bulls eye. I know that may be mediocre shooting for most of you, but for me...I am so buzzed and just wanted to share this with some one - especially people out there who may be experiencing frustration with an apparent lack of progress. Stick with it, find a mentor(s), join a club, participate in Tradgang, read books, etc. - and above all - keeping shooting - everyday. Even if you feel it will never happen, just shoot through it. It will happen. Special kudos to Byron Ferguson and my personal mentor, Rick Youngs of Sylvanl Archers.
If in doubt ask "What would Willie do?"

Congratulations!!  A job well done.....next goal is 4 1/2 inches.  I've been shooting for 46 years, and there's always a current success, and another aspect or facet to work on.  Enjoy!!!

Awesome job!!!  Every now and then I'll see groups like that, but 5-6" on center are more common for me - after a half hour warmup/practice.

Sometimes I get lucky.   :D  

Way to go on the group!
