RE: What do you guys think and how are ya'll doing?
No kidding, I think the dude is a little uptight. I would prove to Melancon196 my awsome archery skills but I am fresh out of knocks and shafts. I have 6 dozen comming that will prolly last about a week or so. Oh and I have a new target comming to because the center is knocked out of it. Keep practicing my friend you'll get there just keep praticing.

Good morning yall. Just woke up. Actually got to sleep in a long time since summer school at our college is over. Im glad to see some replys. But Im going to be honest. I hear alot about people busting nocks at every distance and frankly I think its crap. I knew Id hear alot of that on here. Ive shot with some really good guys and Ive never seen one that can bust a nock every time at any distance like several of you claim to be able to do. I started this post to see what yall thought of how I was doing and so yall could post your own pics of how yall are doing. If you want everyone on the hunting.net forums to BELIEVE you can actually bust a nock at any distance and everytime like you claim then start posting some pics. Because if you dont Im sure myself and alot of other people are going to believe your just blowing smoke. Sorry if this sounds blunt and rude but when Im shooting great groups by most anyones standards and yall tell me to keep practicing thats rude. moowhuntr said hed be robinhooding hes arrows and 50yrds and losing them all, PROVE IT. MOTOWNHONKEY said the same as huntr, thered be no nocks left, well I say PROVE IT. In reply to Arthur and driftrider, I shot a 3D tourny a few wks back. It was 25 targets out to 40 yrds. With kneeling, sitting, standing, leaning, I got 248 out of 300 on my first 3D shoot. And Im very good at estimating distance. I can pick a spot and be no more then a yrd off out to 45 yrds. So Arthur and driftrider, Im doing ok I guess. I rarely shoot inside of 40yrds, only when Im shooting with my shooting buddy. But I still say those of you that say I need more practice and that you would be losing all your arrows and robinhooding them all out to 50yrds, just prove it

With that said, I am ready to roll this year for hunting, and am doing VERY well my first full year of shooting 3D. I have managed to place top 3 in more than half the shoots I attend, and I shot a 294 out of 300 last sunday taking first out of 50+ shooters in the pins class. We score targetsas 10X/8/5/0.......no 11's or 12's and only count X's as tie breakers. I have a very big 2 day shoot that is the biggest in Upstate NY in a few weeks.....Tupper Lake Mountain Challenge. I hope to place top 5 in the pins class and have a realistic chance of cleaning house if I bring my "A" game.

The people on these boards tend to make a joke in every post. That is what makes this board great.
You should have put the picture of the Mathew's first. That way we would understand why you are shooting so bad!

Yall can go poke fun at someone else. I just wanted a couple honest opinions and to see if any of yall would show how yall are doing. So most of yall, and yall know who you are, can go screw off.

LMAO,
Never post a picture of something or ask of opinions around here without getting a little constructive criticism be it good or bad.
Pretty good there, as a member has already stated always room for improvement.

Wow. I think you spent too much time at Archerytalk.com. Around here I have found people like to joke and engage in friendly banter, not like the ruthless attacks you see at other uptight archery sights. I think you simply mistook the meaning behind some of these posts.

RE: What do you guys think and how are ya'll doing?
You know what, when youve served and fought for your country then you can think about calling me "thin skinned". Ive been called things you only dream about. And yeah Ive got a chip, Ive lost too many friends over seas. Soo if you think your the man to take it off, have at it. But a stick up my butt? What is that? One of your fantasies? Who said I was looking for friends? The best friends Ive ever had are right here and thats all I need. And drift, I never bad talked you. But if you want to talk crap you had better grab a seat. And theres a difference between constructive criticism and just plain talking crap. And most of what Ive seen is just plain talking crap.
