Wow that's actually an excellent deal, especially for the price.

All told we are dropping about 900 bucks for two bows, membership and accessories,...spread out over 4 payments (1st payment made). I don't foresee that interfering with my debt repayment plans and I don't see any reason why we can't have a little fun while I pay back my collection accounts and still save a little money. I'll admit that it was a little impulsive,...but whatever,....I want my bow and at least at this point,...I have access to gear that is tuned to me; even if I don't get to bring it home.

We make plenty of money,...just gotta budget for it.

May interfere with my gas allowance though. :whateva:

I started out shooting groups of five at 20 yards today. Three hours of that later and I switched to groups of three. This was the last one.

The first one went hella high. The other two grouped astonishingly nicely. I was aiming for the orange sticky BTW.

My string arm is tired. We are gonna head back out to the range on Saturday. Although I want to go tomorrow,...but I don't wanna kill my arm.

Compound bows suck. I used to be very good with a heavy recurve.

This group is ugly but I popped the 10 ring. I'd say I got lucky.
