My better half has been around archery since the day she meet me
She lives in a house full of dead animals
She has no interest in hunting and while she can shoot a gun and has a carry permit and been thru firearms shooting courses she does not like shooting anything
Now don't get me wrong during the summer when the kids are shooting she will grab one of their bows and shoot a few arrows
But she usually hands it back quickly and generally has no real interest
Well a while back when I introduced the shooting for dollars with my kids.... which is pinning a dollar up and we all shoot at it who ever hits it wins, the old lady started getting serious
Its amazing what grown women will do for a dollar
only kidding I hope I didn't offend anyone but I could not resist
Well back to my story
All of a sudden she is asking me to leave one of my old one pieces from my childhood which is 25 pounds strung so she could practice
So I decided to set her up
I have a spare Titan Riser and Placed a quick order with John for a set of 30 # Black Max Carbons
I set it up just the other day with a D 97 string, fur silencers a set of new limb savers and thin light Carbon Expresses
She stole one of my 3 under Jenkins Tabs and she is really killing it
I guess all these years of pretending not to watch my archery videos, etc payed off
It scales 32 #'s at her draw and the only problem is I really like shooting it too
Now we are sitting here watching the 2nd part of the Hunger Games
Archery really does bring families together
