Shot My Widow Some Today (pics added)
« on: August 15, 2010, 01:26:55 PM »
I was shooting 3-4" groups @15 yards with some 25 year old fiberglass arrows.  My friend was shooting his Wing Redwing #55@28".  He has sights and did about as well.

Good deal, but I think you are dating yourself with those fiberglass arrows.  You sure they are only 25 year old......:D

Really congrats on getting to shoot and not being too rusty.  Us true trad guys no you don't need sights to shoot good.;)

Nothing like a good bow without a bunch of stuff hanging on it.

A few 30 year old arrows from 10-20 yards and at various angles.

Swanpman, that is a beautiful bow, Congratulations. I've shot a few Widows & they shoot well. Be careful though with those old fiberglass arrows, if one shatters you will likely get some in your forearm, thow wouldn't be fun. I'd put them on the wall & admire them. I have a few & I just enjoy looking at them & reminiscing about when I used to shoot them years ago.

That bow is a beauty, and your arrows are in the kill zone.
