Not everyone has the ability to be a scratch golfer, top pistol competitor, sporting clays shooter, or elite athlete.


Im no all star, never been, but have always had decent skills at other sports.
But my vision was VERY good and I think "aim smal, miss small" to be a component of shooting bows well.
Visual acuity, meant for me, mental acuity as well.

I can't see as good, or think as good, 35 yrs later.
Still shoot well, but not good enough to compete.
Kinda sucks.

Still nice to just have a target in back and blast a few now and then. Actually gonna do that in a few, it's nice out.

My 54# Blackwidow is now enough to need more practice/work.
Might get a new one at 48# this summer.

Mine is older, and they don't make limbs for that model (I knew that, but really like that old metal riser model- 3rd one actually).
Should fab a hotbox and try to make some limbs for it.
