Mathews makes great bows

Postby Seymore » Sat May 17, 2008 2:51 pm

Haven't shot my Switchback since early bow season. Two shots at 30 yards. Never done that before and now that Ihave I don't care to again. That cost about $10 or $12.

I know what you mean man. I will not shoot at the same place twice. That's why I love that the block has several different circles to shoot at. great shot though.

What amazed me was how dead center the shot was. Click on the photo to blow it up and you'll see how the nock was driven in front of the second arrow. :shock: :shock:

Myth busters did a show one time saying that couldn't be done. Having seen it done numerous times I was really disappointed that they said that. Kinda discredited the whole show for me. For that reason I try to shoot in different spots everytime. I am to cheap to ruin arrows.

That's the reason a lot of us used black nocks when I was shooting tournaments. There's nothing more fun than blowing the nock off your buddies arrow when it's in the 12 ring. :mrgreen:

I saw that one too. they were using a POS bow in a vice. I felt like emailing them and telling them to come down here and we will show you how to split some arrows. I was disappointed as well.

but shooting a .50 into a swimming pool and it disentegrating in 4 feet was pretty cool.
