Happy lobbing, :D Hank
Anyone try this in the evening or early morning with lit nocks??
Would make them easy to find as well.

Naw it was winter time easy to see cause nothing was higher than knee high. All the cows were in another 100 acre pasture. We had 400 acres & 150 cows :lol:

My longest shot was held at 50 degrees upwards with the lightest arrow. The wind carried it further away, as well as sideways . But If there was no wind behind this shot I don't think It would have broke the 500 meter mark at this angle.
I hope the luminocks work :lol: 8)
