Why did I stop after one adjustment??? Well when your fletched shafts do this three times in a row from 18 yards and the bare shaft is flying pretty well too. Well you stop.
I learned my lesson. I shoot the broad head tipped arrow first, then the field tip. LOL. Nice job!

About 6 months ago, I got some brand new arrows, installed my broadheads and decided to shoot a couple into my layer target.
Shot two and they were smack in the bullseye.
Pulled them out and the second arrow had split the first one from about 5 inches up from the head.
Didn't even think about that, but I ruined a new arrow on the first shot. :cry:

Yes but he keeps ducking my arrows.
Nothing clears a troubled mind like shooting a bow.

I damage arrows sometimes also, but mine is usually from missing the target and hitting something unplanned! :lol: :oops: :oops:

When I shoot a group like that, they're usually in one of the bullseyes that I wasn't aiming at. :lol:

:lol: :lol: That reminded me of a Robin Hood I did a few years ago, drove one arrow right into the back of the other one! Both missing the bullseye bad!! :oops: :oops: :mrgreen:

Just do what I do...tell everyone you are spot shooting....wherever they go, thats where I was aiming!
The element of surprise can never be replaced by persistence.

Pat McManus shoots randomly around the target in anticipation of the deer jumping into the shot .
