A touch of frost has heightened your awareness and your heart steadily beats in anticipation. Your senses are suddenly alert to the movement on the forest floor and you realize that the moment of truth is at hand.

Joe, I haven't had a chance to sit down with it yet... :eusa-doh:

Work project got in the way Monday and Tuesday, and then I had to go have a little "spot" cut off my back this morning. Doc told me NOT to be pulling on anything for at least a couple of days because she had to cut into the muscle on my lower back over my ribcage. :thumbdown:

I had planned on getting it sighted in and taking it hunting Saturday morning. Don't know if I'll make that happen or not. :eusa-snooty:
If it doesn't, I'll just take old Faithful and go to the farm.
Supposed to be in the low 50's here Saturday morning!! :thumbup:

I want to replace the standard front stirrup with a "Bigfoot" model. I'll also replace the string and put a piece of shrink wrap in the "hold down" arm.
But I've got to get what color I want for a string set in my mind. :lol:

Okay, so I got around to shooting the little bugger today. Started out with some BEE's with 110gr brass in the snout. Then added a 150gr head.
Set target at 20 yards like the Overwatch said and took aim.
First shot hit dead center. Went and pulled that arrow, picked another one with the same set-up, and fired. Same results. How boring is that!! :lol:
Played with it a little while longer, and then put it away.

Tomorrow morning (Saturday, 10-7) we will venture off to the farm. Perhaps we will see a critter or two!! After I finally take something with it, then It'll have extra accoutrements added to her!! Can't wait.... :eusa-dance:

Well seems like your disease has spread. In Waterloo yesterday and this ended up coming home with me:

Assasin Extreme with the Overwatch scope instead of the Tact Zone shown in the stock image and added string and limb dampers as well.
Never violate a woman, nor harm a child. Do not lie, cheat or steal. These things are for lesser men. Protect the weak against the evil strong. And never allow thoughts of gain to lead you into the pursuit of evil.

It happens to the best of us!! :lol:
We tell ourselves, "Oh I'm NOT going to buy a new bow, I can resist the temptation". Then we find out just how weak-willed we are!! :mrgreen:
Congrats on the Assassin Extreme. :thumbup:
