Bow/intro
I’m shooting the Arc 30, got it a couple months ago and am liking it a lot. I’m 19 and had a bowtech fuel that I used when I was growing up because it is easy to adjust draw lengths and weight as I was growing. I hunted pretty heavily for a couple years and killed some Deer then got out of it but am picking it back up. I’m from south Florida and that’s where I’m going to be hunting this season. I grew up hunting in Georgia as my family had property up there but we do not have that anymore unfortunately

Not sure how hunting is in FL, can you update us when you get back from a hunt. I am in TX but travel to FL for business.
2nd time shooting any compound bow
This was from 20 yards, 2 in the red zone -pretty close 2 in the blue zone, not that bad and of course the first arrow was pretty far left. But I felt like I am finally making progress. Been going to the gym for 4 days in a row after 1,5 years away, every muscle in the body was super sore. I think I shot a total of 20 arrows before stopping as I was not able to be as steady as I wanted, but that will come in a few more weeks.

Thanks Anthony, I will attempt to go on Friday for a short while if work allows it. Saturdays would probably be pretty crowded.

Well ended up in 8th. Shooter’s definitely getting better. If I shot this score last year it would have been 4th. I’ll take it knowing I still have things to improve on

Hey Anthony, I am new to this. How far away are the targets, how many arrows and how are the points totaled?

@Anthony Nelson That grouping all looks excellent, guess it takes an expert to tell on those 3 d targets. Once I get consistent and confident then this would be a fun way to track your progress with actual data versus a feeling that you are getting better.
Hunting and fitness
I like to train in the gym with the goal in mind to be able to go farther, stay longer, and have the strength and endurance to hold my bow at full draw with prefect form for an extended period of time. I don’t want my body to be one of the reasons I miss a shot on an animal. Does anyone else train with this mindset in the off season and what kind of programs are you running to reach your goals.

Just started up at the gym , 5 days in a row now and I thought I was stronger but I was mistaken...lol. Every muscle hurts. Felt like a 100 year old man 2 days after squats. To sit down in a chair was slow motion, to get up needed the arms like when you do a dip. You younger guys do not ever stop your weight lifting as getting back into it sucks. But this is a must to be able to pull 50 arrows and also hike many miles on those hunts.
If you have a good shop. Be thankful
Unfortunately my shop I had been going to since I started archery closed about a month or two ago. They had great techs, great customer service & always did a bang up job. I’ve since had to go to another shop, which doesn’t have the best reputation. Needed a new center serving. I bet I haven’t put 100 arrows through my bow since I got it & look at this! Already unraveled. I have a shoot Saturday & Sunday, that I’ll probably miss. So if you have a good shop. Support them & buy everything you can from them.

I have to travel almost 30 miles one way, but I try to support the pro shop versus the big box stores.
