Bow hunting - the first steps.

@T @treeman 4 years ago

Cody today started out on his beginning days of bow hunting. He has been shooting with my 70 year old spring steel longbow for a few years now, but the interest comes and goes. Last year he started saving for a compound bow (one of those nice ones Dad). A friend phoned up 2 days ago to say he found the bow he suggested for Cody in the Vaal area. Its a fully adjustable bow that can be used child to adult -15 - 70 lb draw.
Cody already has about 7 rifles, but never seen him so into something. The rifles I think are my thing that he does with me, the bow is his thing that he grew into.

He is very easily shooting good grouping from about his 4 th shot with the bow. The second attempt below, the red flight arrows are from a different weight and length, do not know why he shot them same time.
The blue flight arrows are same weight and length.

Each shot is same place center above dot, perhaps time to move back to 20 m

Agree

Tree, has the bow excitement cooled off a bit, saw you every night in the beginning with Cody shooting that carpet thing we made, have not seen you guys practicing for a long time.
Also, I am back in the big house till 10/01/23, come do something silly, we need a laugh.

Ha Ha, bow interest has gone a bit quiet.
