judging by your shooting, I don't think losing arrows is going to be a problem either way.I just don't like losing shit. Is that such a problem?

More so the after they've gone into the animal situation. The 2nd deer I killed with a recurve it took me two days to find the arrow and I needed help on Day 2. lol
Do you like their wraps? I've used two sets of their Limbsations and they've worked out really well.
it's a good idea to sacrifice one to the hunting gods once in while. seems to help keep them in the giving mood.

Three. I’ve used three lighted nocks on deer. I don’t think that makes me an authority on the matter, but I do like to see them hit a deer. Nothing gay about that. It would be more savage if you did not project, Miller. 
I did not shoot today. Not a single arrow. I’m certain I’ll launch some tomorrow.

Old asshole the groundhog was out last night. I snuck out with a broadhead and a field tip, got out of the house unseen. I went to nock the broadhead and sit down the field tip arrow and the field tip arrow fell over behind the air conditioner. Spooked him hard, he gone. So my cold shot was a pass-thru on the 18-in-1 with a Zwickey from about 18.
Then I launched a few sin sticks at the bag.

I couldn’t help myself. Had to shoot when I got home from work last night. First bunch from just under 20.
I’ve got animals to feed now. As soon as I finish that chore I’ll shoot a few more today. I shoot about every day regardless, but this cool front makes it seem more important.
same cold shot, broadhead from 15 yards.
I shoot from up there. I stand on the top of the 3' double sided step ladder up there in the center of the frame. gets my feet about 15' off the ground.
second shot with broadhead.

Still slinging 'em every day.
My son wanted to shoot last night before dark, too. I'm not going to tell him no.

Not perfect today. I think it still gets the job done.
I don't think Barry actually coined that phrase, or even the concept. my mantra either way.
I've struggled at times shooting in low light. It felt good to send a cold one down the middle after a long day of work and youth soccer.
I have actually been shooting a stick some
Cold shot 18 yards 150 grain 2 blade stinger
A little forward but I will keep working on it

I marginally learned a new skill: serving a bow string. The serving on my Stalker had been wearing down. I didn't notice really until a little over a week ago, I drew back and noticed the arrow was barely nocked. I shelfed the bow and ordered a serving tool and some center serving. It's not the prettiest serving work, I'm sure, but it's working and holding up so far.
Cold shot from 18ish.

it's fun and convenient to be able to make and fix your own stuff. aside from sharpening broadheads and building/fletching arrows, twisting strings was the first archery equipment thing I learned to do. I'm not sure why more people don't make their own strings. it's pretty simple. for the cost of two strings, you can buy enough material to make 20.
Yep i make both continuous loop and flemish twist bow strings - noticed that olympic shooters use continuous loop - guuess it because of strech IDK
I don't either. I'll never be a good enough shot to ever find out, lol. Olympic archers are playing a much different game, though. noise and "drag through the bushes" ruggedness are of no concern to them. both are big deals to a bowhunter. I overbuild my stings just so they are quieter. 15 strand 3 ply D97 string doesn't stretch much, creep much, or make much noise. breaking strength around 1800 lbs. doubles as a short tow strap.
