Bought first bow - TexasBowhunter.com Community Discussion Forums

fakeworest · 01-25-2021, 11:43 AM

After continually shooting deer at under 30 yards it seems I finally made the plunge and bought my first bow at Scheels up in the Colony. 31 Mathews V3. Really nice experience when you have no idea what you are doing. First shot at 30 yards looked at wrong sight and went twice through the metal roof above the target. Adjusted and got a decent group for first time shooting a compound bow in 25 years. Very excited to learn a new skill.

Welcome to the addiction gentlemen! Sure is fun to shoot. When you kill your first deer with a bow you'll be addicted for good!
