Brand new X10...

What can I say? I now have an archer's dozen :shocked:

Having spent some time in my bedroom getting my new Hoyt Formula Excel and X10s set up and ready to pack for a day of shooting, I thought it would've been in my best interest if I could just set my clicker right to save me the few seconds hassle on the shooting line.

Nothing wrong with my first draw up as the clicker went slightly before I got comfortable at anchor so I let down, moved the clicker in a wee bit and went to full draw again.

Draw length felt perfect and I was really comfortable so I began expansion just to see how far I was from the click and before I knew it :archer::poulies::shocked::gasp::hissyfit::duh:

I even put a sweet little chip in the concrete wall just missing my 3 guitars and my compound, all of which are of great importance to me...

Anyone with instructions to share on how to make a beautiful, only-shot-once-in-its-life X10 arrow pen?

Yep...been there!!!!

Fortunately I had my form-master/elbow sling on at the time which took a lot of the power out. The wife got a lovely view of an arrow sailing past the french doors, and into the wall, just missing my printer!!!

Feels great knowing I'm not the only one. :burp:

I now can't wait to get on the shooting line to make things right by me by trying to convince myself that it was all worthwhile :pray:

The sight of a shiny broken X10 is still a little heartbreaking but oh well. The archery gods demand a sacrifice!

HA! Now that IS luck!

All I could remember was the click, the impact and my mind going blank shortly after. What a rush... :burp:

Not since the incident when they thought they could hear Braveheart impressions downstairs, and put their ear to the floorboards to investigate...

Get problems with the neighbours upstairs do you? :shocked:
based on my height, length of my b'stard sword, guard position (vom tag), the height of ceiling, the distance between my ceiling and upstairs floor and a little guesstimation ... anyone sitting on the carpet upstairs is in for a VERY rude awaking (and some ad hoc pile surgery :eek:)
