Bow happy!!!


Me and my bow. It's blue!! My favorite color!!
Pulling it back



I missed the first time, but I am still working on my aim.
Trying agian

Watching my shot
YES!! I hit the target!
Ok, so that may be a dorky title, but it is true!!! I am now the proud owner of a PSE Elite Laser Magnum compound bow! It is very nice and I am really excited to have it. I got it about two weeks ago, and have been meaning to post about it, but have been quite busy (I have been doing more than just shooting my bow!!! Dance recital was last week, so we had practice almost every day.) My target, for now, is some flakes of old, moldy hay that our horses won't eat, tied together with some twine. I am still working on figuring out how to site, but practice makes perfect. It is different the closer or farther you are from your target, but figuring out the correct distance takes some hit and miss. We have some paper targets that I can attach to my hay bale, but I am going to work on hitting the bale before I try to hit a bulls eye!! I am having a lot of fun, and with some practice, I will get much better. Enjoy the pictures!!!

How neat!!! I just bought a new bow too!

By the way, if you use a paper target, DON'T tack it to the hay bale...I've tried that. The tacks just popped out!
