If I still had my Golden Eagle overdraw bow I could hit a pellet at 20 yards.   😅 

That sucker was a tack driver!  🏹 

Shawackk !   

 

Why is there a pellet shortage?   Who's buying up all the good pellets?  😡  My hands are sore from breaking up twigs! 

Looky here though......A country boy can survive BYGOD ! IMG_20240323_181205858.jpg

I never had an Indian bow.   Martin, Golden Eagle, Hoyt, and an Oneida that looked like a bear trap and I was always scared of it....  If that sucker had ever came undone somebody was gonna get hurt bad. Only bought it because it was what Ted Nugent shot at the time.  🙄  It WAS fast.  

The Golden Eagle had maple/glass multi-laminate limbs.....it was smooth and fast. Shot like a dream, and held the same tune for YEARS snd Countless shots.

I did have a Bear and a Black Widow recurve, but I was all about SPEED, and recurves and longbows were too slow for me.  I didn't shoot them much.  I'd kinda like to have one NOW though.

All I know for sure is that I learned from guys that could split coffee stir sticks at 25 yards, and I've split my share of them myself....on purpose.  There are still several Robinhood's on the wall at our archery shop with my name on them.   Of course this was with sights.

The best instinctive bare-bow shooters I know don't have a prescribed "stance", and none of them shoot 3 fingers under.   Typically the bow is canted, and there is no "holding" the draw.....as soon as the string touches their nose or cheek it is released.  They avoid shooting twice at any target because if they did the chances of a Robinhood are too great.....and arrows ain't cheap.   How much better at that sport can a person possibly be ???? 

The use of a split limb cammed bare-bow just seems stupid to me......but apparently I don't know as much as I thought I did.   

Sorry to whoever I upset, but I figured I had a pretty good understanding of the game.

My bad 🤷‍♂️ @BilletHead was right, there's apparently something WRONG WITH ME. But in my defense, I was initially trying to offer something helpful.   And didn't think I deserved to be lambasted for it.

And I'm probably gonna go first, so I'll never get to say "Told ya so"...... Or get to hear YOU say it.   😅

I doubt it, my health has declined in the last couple of years.

Oh BS, If there is a dog I'll be smoking a turd in purgatory long before you see the pearly gates.  👍
