    Wow clay shooter I knew it was different but did not know it was that bad. I hope it never gets that way over here.

    Common all over Europe harking back to the feudal days - Keeps the masses in check by not allowing means of defense- hasn't changed much.

    I've had a really nasty case of tendonitis in my bow arm elbow for a couple months and haven't shot any. It's finally almost normal and I'll probably be able to pick the bow back up in a week or so.

    I want to pick up a 3D deer target before bow season...any recommendations?

    Was out shooting tonight and kept pulling one shot out of every 4 high at 40 yards. Took a look at the bad shot arrow and realized it had a 100 grain field point instead of a 125. Stacking them in there now.

    Got sighted in at 50 last night. I'd never shoot a deer that far but it's good to push yourself.

    Got one pin left for 60 to set.
