paceman Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I won't start shooting until August 1st. I will then shoot pretty steady up to the seson and then once a week until the end. This site will idle along until the season approaches and then it will fire up..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoot Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Still shootin'. I try run a couple dozen arrows through the stick and string at least twice a week. I usually take Jan and Feb off, but that's it for me. No rest for the wicked!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonBo Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Shot indoors all winter. This will be my first summer without shooting league since I was a kid. (That was a long time ago) I came home from a hunt in Montana last fall with a bad knee. Walking around the hills of Chilakoot does me no favors. Gotta have the knee in good shape by October so I'm gonna try to be good to it till then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstroke Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I've been shooting a little bit, but not as much as I should. Once turkey season is over I will start the process of buying a new bow. My old bow is still making 6" groups at 40yds. Hopefully I can tighten that up. Also, I purchased some FOB's so thats something I'm looking forward to using also this year.

Jig4All Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Been shooting all year, just more outside on walk through courses than inside since its getting nice out. Had a big problem with the bow and had to have her sent back to the factory for engineering to take a look at her. Draw mods were stripping the screws out and shredding the metal. That made a lot of noise. Should be back in 2-4 weeks. Then business will pick up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sticknstring Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Just took a treestand down last night and put some arrows into the GlenDel... Sept can't get here soon enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr81 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Shot a few arrows a few weeks ago. A little rusty, but not too bad. Hopefully I can get into my shooting routine in a few weeks. Shoot Straight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deitz Dittrich Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 This last weekend I shot an American Fita round.. 20 arrows at each distance 40-50-60yds... at a 122 cm face... it was fun... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An actual FITA round is 40-50-60 meters. Where did you do that? I've always enjoyed the target round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deitz Dittrich Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 True DonBo, although I think a true FITA is 50-70Meters?... Thats why I shot the "American 600 Fita round".. they use the exact same target 122cm face... I just shot it in my back yard up at the cabin where you met me... I can shoot out to about 130 yards maybe more.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neighbor_guy Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 A little archery. Dirtied up the .357 last week. Getting a lot of "holster wear" on the glock. And the my paintball stuff just came back from a 3 year abbsence. Summer season is here!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heat checker Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Just replaced my Biscuit with a new one, put one on daughters bow, and son outgrew his reach on his bow, going to use my old one till growth spurt is done. We got ALOT of tuning before we get into too much practice. On the bright side, just did a camo paint job on our 5yr old's bow, so he's lettin em fly.

sportfish Posted May 27, 2008 Author Share Posted May 27, 2008 Glad to see people shooting. I bought a new DXT and just love shooting it, I try to shoot around 200 arrows a week. 50 yard on my 3d deer is getting to easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blongtin Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I'm actually ashamed to say I haven't taken it out yet. Last year was my first year bow hunting and it was a blast! I need to get it out and get some more practice in. Just replaced my Biscuit with a new one, put one on daughters bow, and son outgrew his reach on his bow, going to use my old one till growth spurt is done. We got ALOT of tuning before we get into too much practice. On the bright side, just did a camo paint job on our 5yr old's bow, so he's lettin em fly. Heat Checker you say that your son grew out of his bow. My soon to be wife really wants to get into shooting at targets just for fun. I'm looking at an inexpensive starter bow for her. Don't want to put too much $ down on it in case she doesn't like it as much as she thinks. Are you looking at getting rid of it? I'll put a post on the "for sale" section of Archery if you want to respond...thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishGUY Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 I am still shooting as well, not as much as before, because of time spent on the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
