The Planets Aligned

The majority of your bowhunting year is spent practicing and/or training. This is the place to discuss it!

You might consider putting a little air space between that plywood and your garage wall. That way a high arrow might not hit your wall as it passes through but is stopped by the plywood.

We have a Tractor Supply Store in town that sells those small and medium sized trailers. They all come with a good sized fairly dense Styrofoam block that the trailer tongue rests on. They soon throw them all away. I use them for kids targets, and to practice with my broadheads, but a friend glued a dozen or so of them together and made a backstop wall. I can only assume he must have used a hot glue gun. You could put them in front of you piece of plywood to save your arrows from damage. You could even give them a quick coat of paint to keep them from standing out, as they come in white.
Jesus replaces the old covenant and speaks to the believer the moral code of God by His Spirit directly to the heart. He is the eternal, everlasting revelation of God to mankind. In Him is both the knowledge of righteousness and the power to live right.

Well, got in another 20 minutes or so this evening, maybe 4 dozen arrows? I'm starting to feel more comfortable and confident when I shoot every few days or more! The bow muscles are coming back to life and my release is getting more consistent. I only hope I can keep this up. One thing I need to work on; my arrows make a very definite "thwap!" when hitting the block, not the silent "swish!" the straw bales used to make. Silence is your friend.

Play a little music while you are out there.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
