    Re: turning nocks

    Got out today with a friend who also shoots. Used those nock wrenchs. Super easy and I think it made a difference. I put four arrows out of seven into a beer can at 20 yards. Can't wait to get out again.

    Careful with the 'pass-thrus' on cans Blayne. Rips fletching off slick as a whistle.

    I had a foam target behind, so no pass throughs. I am not going to make a habit of it. We also tried some long shots, sixty yards up a hill. Neat to see how the arrow flies like that. Definetly not in a hunting situation, but fun all the same.

    You're right about it not being a hunting shot - but in my opinion a person needs to do these kind of shots just to see how the equipment reacts and responds.

    Shooting at 60 - 100 yards at the range will show your arrow trajectory, and also how to aim at those long distances that are definitely 'out of bow range.'

    You'll find silly/fun shots like those at some 3D shoots - so if you are familiar with your equipment - you have an advantage over the guys/gals who only practice out to 40 - 50 yards.

    The more you know the capabilities of your equipment the better shooter you will be. It's all about practice - and who says practice has to be dull??

    Yeah It was my best shoot so far. Trying different shots that I wouldn't do without encouragement from my friends. I tried to shoot at about 80 yards, and the target was about 25 yards vertically below me. Very hard. I only hit the target butt once in four shots. Thats the only way to learn is to miss a bunch and adjust. My groups at 20 yards are about three inches now, but at 30 they are probably 8 and I can see some fishtailing at that distance. The tuning never stops.
