I'm sorry.

Can I be excused?

My brain appears to be broken again.

No, not pushups. Period archery.

Oh yah!

Sorry, I just barely didn't miss this.

Russ Mitchell gave me on extremely generous trade, a hungarian composite shortbow. This thing is Awesome! As well, some arrows to go with it. So while it's cold, I'm nocking 100 arrows a day indoors to work on my form, and when it gets warmer, I'm going to set up my archery target out back and send some rounds down-range.

He says 'sofa cushion' because my white-trash archery target is a sofa cushion I dug out of a dumpster at Goodwill! :lol: I got some aluminum siding from a destruction site for a backstop too!

I'd recommend getting a sheet of chipboard or particle board to face in front of the aluminum siding depending on its thickness. Assuming the tips are standard field points they'll blunt pretty quickly if there's nothing forgiving for them to strike. Sounds like a nice bow. A friend of mine has one and its a joy to shoot. A lot of pop and easier to learn with than a longbow.
