Archery
Was getting bored around here so thought I would try something new. Was always interested in archery so went out and bought a complete setup. Am finding that I need to build up certain muscles to do this right. Have been shooting 100 arrows a day for the last week and can tell a difference in my shot group. The arrows in the target was was shot at 20 meters. When I get the group tighter will move back to 30 meters. At 71 years old, it is fun learning something new.
Three Scores and 14 years old and still going strong.

Nice looking bow! I used to do this, but never had anything that nice.

Re: Archery
I am enjoying trying to learn how to shoot the thing. Was figuring how fast the arrow goes. The bow has a 50 pound pull so according to the manuel, the arrow should leave the bow at 305 fps. Doing some figuring, that would be 305X60=18300 fpm or 18300X60=1098000/5280=207.95 mph. Heck ole Sparkey can go this fast on his bike. Just think Sparkey, if you were going full bore and I shot an arrow, you could just reach out and grab it.
