Wooooow does it shoot niiiiiiice!

I've got some pics to post later, when I get a chance to edit them, but I went up to Flatline today and checked out the bow and shot a few arrows. It shoots awesome, and feels great in the hand.

I may be able to pick it up next weekend, depending on if the string comes in!

I'm very excited. :D

Wondering if Jose is still shooting that bow (indoors) or if it has been picked up yet?

Jose' can't shoot it. :D (I'm left handed!)

I haven't picked it up yet; the string isn't in yet (or is, but I can't pick it up till the weekend anyway).

I'll find out today.

Oh he can shoot it, just not as well! When you pick it up look for holes in the wall or windows broke out! Be sure to ask him about his indoor shooting experience.
