Robin Hood

Today, EC was in Danville so I headed out to FR City so I would not have to sit at the house all day and watch Evan drule like I do 5 other days a week. I dropped hin off at my mom's house and then my dad and I went to Bridgewater College to take stuff to my sister. When we got back I got in touch with a friend to see if he wanted to shoot his bow. He said that he was going to a bow shop and that I could ride along, so I did. We went, came back, and then shot our bows in his backyard for a while.

Background info...I bought my first bow about 10 years ago at a pawn shop. My friend bought a new bow last year, so I bought his old bow off of him for $100 last year because it was better than mine. This year, he decided to buy the new Matthews Switchback XT, so of course I get the hand me downs. He is letting me use his old bow, a Martin Razor X, and we are in negociations about a possible purchase of the bow.

I have always been a pretty good shot whether it was with a bow, gun, or whatever. Today I was trying to make sure that my broadheads (hunting tips) were hitting in the same place as my field points (practice tips). I was shooting and we heard one of my arrows hit another arrow. This was no big deal, we nick the arrows all of the time. When we went to retrieve the arrows, the second arrow had hit the first right in the nock and shattered the end of the arrow. I would show you a picture, but I threw the arrow away. So I came pretty damn close to pulling a Robin Hood and splitting the arrow.

It never fails that I mess something up when I shoot my bow with my friend. The last time I snapped an arrow because it hit a piece of metal the wrong way and who knows. 2 times ago I shot over the 3D target and almost killed a cow. And usually I lose an arrow somewhere. Today's loss is a good problem to have. When you mess up arrows with other arrows, that means you are shooting good. It sucks that these arrows are about $8 or $9 a piece.

If I can get my arrow back, I will send pics. PEACE MONKEYS!
