Hey Ya'll, watch this!

[elkbreath]

I don't know if you guys enjoy watching arrows fly downrange as much as I do or not.  But, here is a video of me shooting mostly from the targets perspective.  Its about 5 min long of just me shooting.  If for nothing else, comic relief.  Enjoy!

"Hey y'all, watch this."

A redneck's famous last words.

75lbs@30 shooting it with ease, Chuck Norris might not want to try and take it back. Good shootin elkbreath.

Looks like a good time in the back yard! I bet that video would not have been 5 minutes long if you were down here. It was 109 degrees here yesterday! It stinks just walking outside to get in the car, it is so hot.

looks like your ready for elk season!

That Gost shoots the hell out of 800 grains

My body aches just think about shooting 75# and from those different angles! Good shooting Dan!

Do you think Gerry at Great Northern could take ....maybe 40#'s off the bow so I could shoot it....     Nice to be young!!

[Mike Gerardi]

I thought you were going to shoot your camera after reading the title. Glad you did not. Good shooting.

[wooddamon1]

Nice shooting, I like the bow too.  

[Hawkeye]

At least you didn't say, "Here, hold my beer and watch this!"  Those usually don't seem to go well...

Nice job!

[Steve Clandinin]

Good shooting and great form my friend.Those arrows are flying like scud missles.No elk will be safe!LOL

[elkbreath]

Thanks guys!  The comments are great, you guys are a riot.  I've always thought churck norris was overrated, so I took his beard.

Hawkeye, We'll do that version this weekend...

 

[Fidelios]

wow!!! that's some cool footage!The bow is really silent! I have been thinking about shooting from crouching and stuff and yhis just gave me the motivation!

[iohkus]

Shooting from your knees in a bent forward position is a good test as to whether you're "overbowed". Looks as though you have no problem! Love the dog's reactions as you're shooting. LOL

[darin putman]

Love to hear arrows fly from the deers position,thanks and great shooting

[Lambow]

Good shootin, Chuck!

At a 30" draw, your getting around 80# out of the bow, and an 800 grain arrow is just right.

If you rub the threads of your field points on a candle or paraffin wax, your points won't unscrew... and if you handle your arrows by the nock instead of the shaft, it's much easier & quicker to get em on the string.

[elkbreath]

Thanks for the input!

Lam bow, thanks.  Yeah I go through a bunch of stringwax for that reason.  Still seem to unscrew them easily...

I have practiced handling from the nock, but havent figured that out yet, too many years doing it backward.  Perhaps I'll get back on that, I'd love to be able to do it without looking down, thank you for the advice, always appreciated.  

By the way, its 81# at my draw, given my scale could be off a little.

I shoot from my knees most of the time, since most of my hunting shots are from my knees.  I also shoot 20 or so arrows as close to laying horizontal as I can per night.  I throw in all kinds of angles, you just never know.  I've shot two animals from the laying nearly flat on my belly position since I leanred to do it.  Just seems the animals get closer when you're down there and don't spook as much at the movement.  Plus with antelope and Mulies, there often isn't much cover to hide behind.  

Any requests on angles?  I'll make up a new video!  Maybe even change the scenery.  Im'm going to get grass soon.  Again, any advice is welcome.
