Hello, I'm Leroy Sisco, and on behalf of Expert Village, I'd like to give you a few tips and techniques on archery. Archery is every single thing that you enjoy about hunting; the only difference is that you don't have to clean as much game, so it's a wonderful sport. You can shoot it at your house, you can get friends involved with it, and it's just something that I try to pass onto everybody, it's a lot of fun. But let me show you how the bow shoots. You want to make sure, like I said, you have a good quality bow, and then you want to make sure you have good quality arrows because the consistency in the arrows make the difference in how well the bow performs. Because if you get an arrow that's heavier than that last arrow that you shot and everything, well then you're not going to get the same pattern. But with this bow, you simply put your arrow on, it has the fall away rest, you pull the bow back, that rest comes up, you line up, you look through your peep sight. If you used to remember shooting the old 22's you used to shoot when we were kids, well this is the same concept. Line up the peep sight, line it on and pull the trigger. It's just like shooting anything else as far as a rifle or anything else, you line up your peep sight, here's the front of the barrel of your rifle or your bow, and now you put that on the target, you set them at different distances, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 yards.
