Just saw this thread ill get on board

32 yds farthest I can shoot in my backyard

I’ve been trying to work myself back about 2” from where I originally taught myself to shoot.
When I started bow hunting in 2014 I just walked the leg and always managed to dangerously hug that crease.
Last year and this year I’m trying to walk off it about 2”. Way easier to do on a target, but when auto-pilot kill mode rolls in…. I always find my way in there again. Hopefully after more practice and technique training I’ll be good.

That said - another great day of shooting considering work is a fricken nightmare due to world events.

40 arrows, a nice Missouri sunset, and some deer in my pasture helped ground me.

Happy shooting!

A little to the right but it wasn't a miss. Decided to shoot the old school bow first.

does that classify as traditional? Not causing a fight. Never really got into Oneida's. Is it an improved recurve? what are the benefits over a "normal" recurve? I do believe a lot of bowfishermen have taken to them.

Not in my eyes for the simple reason of the let off you get. Think mine is 50%. I just love the Oneida bows for the fact they were the cool bows when I grew up in the 80s watching ole Ted and always wanted one when I was a kid. I have two I pack around when the mood hits me. I shoot traditional recurve also quite a bit and the latest and greatest compounds. The older I get the more I enjoy traditional.

The Oneida’s were always an interesting bow to me. I’ve never shot one but I keep my eye out for used ones.

I have actually shot quite a bit already this spring and trying to drill into my head a better anchor point and pre shot check points. It’s been working good

My 1st slider sight but I only have a 20 yard pin marginally adjusted - $445. Insane

Look into Precision cut archery sight tapes. I’m super impressed with the accuracy of the one on my wife’s bow

 

[Bowmannate2000]

Cold shot of the spring for me! 30 yards. Bow didn't blow up, and looks to be in tune still.

 

[Mule Kick]

24 yds cold shot. Hadn’t shot in about a week. Thanks for putting this on @Lostinthewoods!

 

[QuazyQuinton]

I'll be hunting elk, so that's close enough. And yes, I need a new target.

By the way, what are these "yards" you speak of?

QQ

 

[Valley1320]

24 yard cold shot. Suprised myself for not shooting since January.

 

[chevyman181]

@Twobyfour maybe we should get in on this?

 

[jvanhoy]

First shot of the year for me. 24 yards one shot and put it back up.

 

[Twobyfour]

I’m game

 

[Lostinthewoods]

Turned the target for a quartering away shot again.

Good shooting, everyone.

41.5 yards first shot of the day….

 

[TheBenHoyle]

Cold shot at 12 yards with the recurve yesterday.



I'm shooting ok, but it still feels like luck as opposed to skill. With my compound bow I shoot right where I aim. With the recurve, I shoot instinctual and I really don't know what I am doing. I figure the more practice I have the more instinctual I will get. Just like throwing a ball they say...
