Yards that is...and about all the farther I'll take a shot at an elk this fall.

My aging eyes have a tough time seeing clearly up close. I still have 20-15 distance vision, but up close not so great....

I've been shooting about 25-30 arrows a day.

12 more days until the opener....;)

Kill a stud Pat....

Good luck....

Good shooting and good luck!

Nice setup. Now go drill a good un!

If that is your fifty yard group you are doing something right!

While 50 is not a bad cut off point & 30 may be even better for many. Confident accuracy at any distance is what you are looking for. Not encouraging anyone to change anything up this close to season. Yet Ill share that I have just started working with retina-loc sight feature on one bow and this has been an eye opener on my form. I am rapidly becoming a believer in the retina-loc as my groups are shrinking notably with its proper use & my more consistent form.

From one individual with diminishing eyesight to others. I expect form is more of our concern than our eyesight at this point. YMMV.

I envy you making the elk hunting journey. Wish you a great hunt. Shoot straight & see how much I envy you when the work starts with a critter down

Nice group!

Hope you and Alan kill some big ones.

Again.

Quite impressive or at least it is for someone just getting back into archery after a LONG time away. Rest assured I will be practicing with hopes of getting similar groups in the future.

Lookin good!! Whatcha shootin pat?

Looks an awfull lot like my Defiant.

Good luck! Look forward to seeing what you shoot.

It is. I've had it a couple years.

Smooth and fast.

I'm hoping this one shows up again.

I'm looking at the arrows in that quiver and am wondering/wagering which lucky one will be bloody 13 or 14 days from now.

Hope you catch up with the one in the pict above - wow!

Good stuff Pat, that will work.

You do guide work? I'd be happy with his little brother! Bow, rifle, matters not to me!

I retired from the outfitting business about four years back...just hunting with family and friends now.

And I'm really enjoying it...;)

I'll bet!

You mind doing a ancestry test Pat. 100$ test could be like winning lucky for life. 😂😁

Scots-Irish.....I guess the name proves that...;)

Got me laughing...It was the one closest to the string release...;)

See, that's how we mortals do it. I figured you'd to work from the outside-in.
Another great critter - congrats!

Fifty’s coming soon
