New to this forum but not to Trad archery, been shooting bow since 1973. I haven't been able to hunt much for the last 8 or 9 years due to job responscibilities. One of those 24/7/365 deals. Anyway, this x Jarhead (not retirered from the military) is now retired and my only plan is to bowhunt until I get sick of it. I'm looking forward to see if it's possible. Definately have some stuff to relearn (carbon arrows). My prefered broadhead would probably be the Zwickey Delta and for bows, I have a Morrison ILF riser with lonbow and recurve limbs, a Zipper take down with LB limbs and a A&H take down LB.

Welcome Steve. Hopefully it will be along time before you get sick of bow hunting.What kind of target is that?

Greg, it's a great target. I bought it from 3 Rivers Archery quite a few years ago. I'd hate to guess the number of arrows that's been shot into it. It came with 2 patches which as you can see were just put on last week. I stuffed the target with plastic grocery bags or the plastic bags from Walmart. I just went to the local recycling center and got all I needed free. I didn't see it available at 3 Rivers anymore and don't know if it's made anymore.

Welcome aboard, glad you've joined us! I haven't seen a target like that before; looks like it might hold up better than the McKenzie I blew to bits.

Your backstop looks like a real 'motivator', too! :shock:
