Do we have any archers here? I shoot a PSE.
FELLOW PSE BROTHER!!! WOOT WOOT I shoot a PSE Stinger (2011 Model) 60# pull for hunting, Gold tip XT Hunter Arrows and 100 grain Spitfire expandable broadheads. Duravanes and the NAP quik-fletches rock too!
NIIIIIICE. My Mach 8 still get some serious FPS.
How fast are we talking? My dad's EVO shoots about 325 FPS I believe
Thats pretty good still. The stinger gets 280. Love it can't wait for October Bow season....
I have a High Country Supreme XL somewhere in my basement. There used to be an awesome indoor range here but it went the way of the Dodo years ago.
I hunt with a crossbow, but a Compound is more fun to shoot. Do you have silencers on your string?
I have both a vibracheck String Surpressor
And a fuse Enduro Stabilizer
You ever shoot an arrow straight up in the air and then stand perfectly still until it comes down?

It's been 7 years or so since I picked up a bow but I was one small step below Olympic levels at the time. Just needed to shot my 6000 round and that would have been it but then I was seduced by footie and that was that.
I miss archery though. Of all the things that brings clean and focused thoughts to the fore, that was it.
Indeed it is mate.
I also find that it's easier to get in the zone and just stay there while you do your thing. It's the one thing I admire about pro golfers the most as how they have to be in the zone, play a hole or half a hole then wave to the crowd, sign an autograph and then turn back on.
I cannot recall at any point in my life shooting an arrow. Might have to put this one on a bucket list or something.
It is exhilarating and calming at the same time. You have this remarkable amount of energy stored, ready to be unleashed by the smallest twitch of your fingers. The subtle creak and whir of the bow being pulled is addictive. Learning to judge things like wind and distance provides a mental challenge unlike any other. When you release the arrow, see it, briefly, flying on the line you intended, and hearing the pleasing thump as it buries itself into the target, there is a catharsis of sorts going on. When you execute your shot well, you know it without even seeing the bolt land.
With that explanation, it just moved up some serious numerous notches on the bucket list.
You guys be careful with archery, make sure your bows are always in tip top shape!
On another forum I'm on, one of our most treasured members lost his life when a compound bow he was firing literally exploded and a piece of it became lodged in his head.
