    Default ....well I was surprised

    Got everything setup on the new bow today. I had to get a drop away rest, kisser, and a peep installed. Rode over to a friend house to shoot it a little since I don't have my own target yet and he has the yardage marked on his fence post up to 50 yards. I was shooting at the 20 yard line and this happened.

    I was shooting an elite z28.... and it'll get costly if it keeps happening. I bought 4 more this morning.

    When it hit, I heard the thump. I looked over at my buddy and was like did I just robin hood that shit? I pulled the arrow out some, but the first arrow was almost out of the back of the target so it didn't look like I did it from the front but I knew the sound it made, I hit something other than the foam.

    I've done that 5 times. It's cool the first time, not so cool when it keeps happening. Now I aim at a different spot every shot. One of mine was at 50 yds.

    I actually leave them in the target. Don't know why, but I have at least two or three in one target.

    At a cost of nearly $10 a arrow, I don't shoot groups.

    It's definitely cool the first time but 12 bucks an arrow will cost ya.
