Not a robin hood =) kzoo arrow group.
« on: February 03, 2012, 12:53:00 PM »
Caught the trad bug a year ago and took my daughter to the kzoo expo.  Picked up my first dozen of wood arrows and having a blast shooting during my planning period.  Just had to share this group (pic to follow once I email MikeW here shortly). Been practicing at 15 meters.  Was visualizing that deer crouching on the sound of the release   :D   At least that's the story I'm sticking too.

I have to say, it's great having some quality time with my 18 yr old daughter, and expose her to some truly friendly folks that were helpful and willing to have a conversation.  Plan on going to Comptons and experience what many of you have enjoyed for years.    :archer2:

Yea let's see your group. Trad is diffently a life changing experience, glad to see you have got your daughter interested in it. Waiting on my 9 year old son to get home, to show him his first recurve. I really didn't know what I was missing all these years, shooting wheels, but I'm glad I coverted to trad.  God bless.

With you shooting like that you need to start shooting one arrow groups. Your arrows will last longer.

Nice group. I would not shoot another group for fear of robin hooding one of those beautiful arrows.

Find a multi spot target or you're going to have to invest in a fletching jig!

Good shooting!

That's better than a Robin Hood in my view. Arrows still intact and a "pretty nice" group!
Looks like a heart shot instead of a double lung.

Nice shooting...now for the big question, did you buy the bow that you did that with?

Thanks for all your comments. I kinda thought it was better than a robin hood too. That's what prompted the picture. I shoot a (1973-74 I think, has curved design in the riser) DH hunter 45# @ 28" I purchased at a yard sale.  Speaking of fletching, the feathers that touch the shelf are getting fairly frayed. Think I need to put on some hair and strike plate because I've just been shooting off the bare shelf.  Anyway, I'll probably never shoot a group like that again, just fun knowing it can happen.     :thumbsup:   to all.

Great shooting!
Are those Brandywine arrows?
Nicely done, on any account.

Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.
