McDermott is my preference.

We used to play some 8 and a lot of 9 down here. When I returned after playing golf for some years, they were all about BCA.

The covid shut things for awhile. They have been back open for a couple of months but I have not gone out to play.

Made another video yesterday. I was using 2 cameras but dropped the GoPro SD Card into the couch. So until I do some upholstery work it's just this one camera. I was shooting at 50, 60, and 70 yards.

is that a bowtech?  I used to shoot archery ALOT, got so I could put 5 arrows in a dixie cup at 120 yards.  The wife worked at a pro shop in Pueblo Co years ago, she got so she could tear a bow apart and put it back together and do all the tuning stuff.  All I did was shoot haha.  I was shooting a golden eagle bow from walmart at that point, had trophy ridge sights and rest, the rest screwed up and cost me first place in the league shoot that we were in.  This summer was first time I shot my bow in almost 12 years, need to have wife build a new string.

Big lover of archery here.  I always have a selection of bows from home made primitive to my bowtech compound. Right now I'm mostly using a 50lb glass/wood longbow called Black Hawk made by a company called Buck Trail. One of the best bows I have ever owned. I really love the accuracy of the compound but more often I always seem to get drawn into trying to improve my barebow abilities.
And I don't know much, but I do know this. With a golden heart comes a rebel fist.

It's a Mathews Traverse set at 50 lbs. draw.

Once the bow fell off a picnic table. That caused the string to leap the cam. It also caused the arrow rest to drop a notch. And that's when I learned to actually tune a bow. It was a great experience.

Archery has been a big part of my life, for like 35 years now! My Niece(who also is in game) ULBLIZZ, was on her High School Archery team! Ripley,WV HS....VIKINGS! Ranked #1 for 3 straight years :rock  It was awesome, getting to train with her.   I follow a Youtube creator Armin Hirmer, who does a lot of Historical bow reviews.   I purchased a Tartar Style bow fro Simon's Bow Co.(Hungary ifir) ,after seeing his review."RAPTOR" for real!   I shot a big Doe last WV bow season with it!!! Horse Bow...on White Tail Doe :aok  Even shot it "Thumb Release" with arrow on "The Wrong Side"!   VERY FULFILLING experience :rock Therapeutic experience!!! Even shot a Dozen or so Squirrels while "Stumping"(walking through wood shooting at random Rotten stumps, for practice)..so enlightening! :rock
