I also purchased my set of outdoor arrows yesterday. A gorgeous dozen X10 Protours with Tungsten points. Although I promised my self I will not shoot them indoors..well, I had to try one at least. So off to the club I go. New shiny arrows on. New shiny release aid in hand. Steady hands and start the draw and BANG, thumb touched new trigger which is set hyper sensitive. Result, new shiny arrow imbeded 3 cm into wodden rafter somewhere near the end (after punching a neat little hole in the safety net). All attempts to removed it failed.
The hall officials (belonging to a local gun club) were summoned and they has a great laugh at my expense (not counting the price of the damned arrow). Promises to bring drills, jack hammers and chissels and try to extricate before club night next week.
Moral of the story: when trying multiple new purchases, try one item at a time. |
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
I can't believe you christened one already!!! Mine are going down the range with the exclusive new cotton wool shaft wrap
have you actually knackered the shaft or is it just stuck?
