First shot

[Doebuck1234]

Have a friend from previous job coming over Sunday to shoot so figured I'd pull the target out,then said screw it I'll dust the bow off.first 5 @20 sence last season

Felt damn good to shoot,even though I'm sweating like a pig

No too bad.. 

I just can't get excited about hunting or shooting when it's 92°.

I really wasn't going to after having 4 genny lights but a flip switched in my head saying get target out for sunday,make the switch from broadheads then just said screw it and let a few fly.

It's amazing the power of 4 genny lights.

this first shots thread and the old one on the other forum, no doubt helped put deer on the ground. Glad someone resurrected the idea. Been busy and not thinking about shooting any of the bows but looks like i should.

Here we go again... now I feel the pressure to get mine out and start getting reps in..

I had not shot mine in a couple of months and went to a 3d shoot two weeks ago and beat my personal best there. Once you reach a certain comfort with your form it is easy to keep things dialed in with the compound.

Now I am not talking leaving the bow in the basement for 9 months and then expecting to do well. A little more repetition than that is needed for me to feel confident.

But we are all different to some degree...

First time shooting my bow this year. First three arrows. At 25 yards. Not too bad! 

Shoulders are really bad. Can't shoot many arrows anymore. But all I need to do is make one count!!

Week 2 shooting. I always split up my shots- half standing, half sitting. Then split the sitting ones between straight on and 90° perpendicular. Anyway, today the @Sodfather encouraged me to try kneeling as well. To simulate a possible real scenario I drew standing then walked A few yards then knelt all at full draw before shooting.
