First range day with new scope, strings and arrows

Post by Square_hammer »

Well I just got home from the local range. Today was my first chance to shoot my bow with my 8pntbuck string zombie slayers and my single crosshair scope. I tried a few different yardage to zero it at and came to a conclusion that 25 yard zero should be perfect. At least until I get myself an hha optimizer, lol. All the arrows were shot sitting in my hunting chair using a primos trigger stick bipod. I used the same point of aim every shot. Middle is 25 yard top is from 20 yards and bottom 2 are from 30 yard's.
Well photo bucket isn't working so pictures will come later but all of the arrows were in the black circles on my Rhinehart target.
