    I saw a few people make up something like this, and figured... What is there to lose? Maybe it will help me get out of my slump. So without further adieu... Here is what 5$ got me tonight







    I cut a notch at the center of each board. What I'm going to do is use some fishing line, and loop it on a washer. This way I know that I'm hitting my exact target every time.

    I use a thing very similar. I actually use two of them though. One at the arrows and one at the breakpoint. Lots of people can hit their mark at the arrows, but if you drop your shoulder, drift your feet, lean, change speed or revs, etc. it can hit the first mark (arrows) and miss the breakpoint by a few boards!

    Either that or he's the local association manager checking to see if it's USBC compliant.

    We use something similar for our young bowlers, on ours we have a little tigger toy hanging down to give them something to aim at when starting out..

    ha - she actually sleeps on my legs. It's rather annoying, but hey, it is what it is. For a cat, she has quite a unique personality. I'll post a vid I have of her getting some serious air when I get a sec. It's hilarious.
