Well yesterday was interesting....hubby is an avid hunter and he and my son bow hunt. They have a series of targets on the property and often go out for hours to target practice.

 

Well, yesterday I got my own bow. I was actually kinda excited. The guy at the hunting store showed us bows ranging from $300 to $5000..Are you kidding me?!??!?  I got what I thought was a really nice bow and it was only $300 on sale. It was hard to pull but so much easier than hubby's. I learned all about the pull weight and all that. We went home and hubby adjusted everything for me this morning. While he was doing that I was looking up my bow online..It's a youth bow lol! I am such a wimp! It's all I can handle and my son thinks it's funny. They call it my baby bow...

 

Tonight we went out for target practice. I at least hit the target and didn't have to hunt for my arrows ...lol.  But I'm having a hard time getting it centered.

WHAT A WORKOUT!!! My arms and shoulders are burning! Good thing I have been lifting for the past month! I was proud I could even do it and had the strength. This is a big deal.

 

My son was trying to help me and it was really fun. What a great thing to do as a family. No couch potatoes here!

    Well, I lost my first arrow this morning....I misfired and it went into the pond:(

    And this is why you don't buy the newbie $10 graphite arrows!...You buy her fiberglass ones! You can't find them with the metal detector but hey, they are only $3 each!

    I did make 4 out of 5 arrows in the red 3 times!..Ha!

    good job, i have my own bow too, i am not very good at all the only thing i can hit with it is my forearm (i am double jointed) its very painful but when i actually hit the target its rewarding.
