Well I went to the shoot. I did pretty good at the practice range. Then when the real deal happened, it wasn't pretty. I may have missed my first 6 targets completely! Then I hit a few, then i missed some more, then I hit a few and ended the course with a 10 ring, that's what I was told anyway. I lost a fletch but no arrows. I took the arrow with no fletchings and shot it twice, second shot missed and broke the arrow at the practice range. I think it kicked right...Big thanks to Paradocs, he shot the course with me and he brought me a bunch arrows he wasn't using anymore. They were much shorter than mine but they were loaded up front. Im not sure the weight but they have brass inserts and big field points. So when I got home shot them. They flew well at short range. I backed up and noticed they would kick left down range. One thing they were a lot more quiet than what I had been shooting. All in all, it was a lot of fun and I got to meet some good folks.
