    New bow and a personal first

    I gave my first compound bow away earlier this year to a younger cousin, a PSE Nova that while it was a great bow I had out grown it and was ready to step up.

    So a couple days ago I bought a new 2016 Hoyt defiant turbo, set to 70lbs and clocking arrows at 305 fps on the chrono.



    Then today I had a personal first while sighting it in, I split an arrow, at 20yards, it was cool but cost me a $10 arrow.

    Damn. That's the first time I've ever seen a Robin Hood shot.

    Nice shot! Do it again and I will buy you an arrow! I used to love archery,
    while I never hunted that way I loved putting them on target.
    I still have a 35lb recurve in my closet has not been strung in
    25 years. I like your counter tops, once again nice shot.

    Have you heard about the new corduroy pillows? They're making head lines!
