Improving spine

time to shoot at different dots

Well ... you're right about that. LOL If it weren't raining cats and dogs now, I'd be at the club for a while, but maybe tomorrow. The drawback to having a bow that doesn't have numerous sight pins is ... I'm limited to the distance I can shoot. That's one reason I've really been looking hard at the HHA single pin sight. Right now, the maximum distance I can shoot with any real chance of hitting anything would be 40 yards ... mainly because that's my last pin. There are apparently distances on the 3d course of over 50 yards ... something I can't touch at the moment.

Ok, I'm confused. I haven't touched the bow since the other day at the shop when Stan helped me with my issue. I think I mentioned a minor adjustment was made to my sights, and I was shooting very well. Same bow, same release, same arrows, only difference is it's outside ... I'm shooting left ... which I was shooting originally before moving the sight in. If the bow was tuned up it shouldn't shoot differently between inside and outside at 20 yards, should it?

[SPIKER]

Sounds like you are torquing the bow a touch.

[omegabuck]

Very possible ... even when I tried to let it "fall" it was still left, but not as much. So that's most likely the culprit ... me.

[omegabuck]

I noticed earlier, that with the shorter (27") draw length ... it seems like I'm "stretching" a bit ... is that at all possible? I know it may seem a little odd, mainly because I've not been thinking about it ... but I noticed it today (visually).

[omegabuck]

Still stacking them though ... just not where I'm aiming.

For instance, if I am aiming at the middle of the target ... it's actually hitting between the left middle and dead middle on this target ... (PAY NO ATTENTION TO ARROWS IN THE TARGET THEY WERE FROM A PREVIOUS TIME .... BEFORE ADJUSTMENTS WERE MADE)

Is this still the 27" that is actually 28" (based on your arrow length #'s)?

Next for the hitting left - any chance you are wearing a jacket and the string is hitting your chest or sleeve? Or ... perhaps your grip - even though the bow falls away nicely perhaps you are gripping it differently. This is where the no-peep really shines for me - I find differences in my grip that the no-peep picks up on.

DL is 27" measuring that is actually 28 ... yeah that's is. Arrow length is 27" on the button. Well give or take a couple thousandths. LOL

As far as the grip ... I've actually been thinking about that for quite a while and it's entirely possible that I could be gripping it differently somehow. I'll be trying to figure that out for a little longer. LOL

Jacket, no jacket was worn ... but I was wearing my hat normally today, something I don't normally do while trying to get the thing tuned in. Once I know it's in, I can shoot any which way I want and get identical results.

so ... your still a half inch too long? That will be real hard to shoot with any consistency from day to day.

I personally have a tendency of shifting my grip to get more comfortable after the bow is drawn probably for this year the one thing I need to work on most is getting the grip I want before I draw and never changing it once the bow is drawn - consistency is the key.
