You know, I love living in Colorado but you guys sure get me to wishing I was a bit closer some times! Sounds like you've got it going on, keep it going guys!

It's awesome! Wish I would have had it this well last season  The doe I shot (that got caught by the Yotes) was hit after 3 shots  It was yesterday that I realized what I did in order to miss the first 2 shots  I even mentioned it to skipmaster at the time but I didn't realize what was going on....had me really confused at the time  What I did was anchor where I anchor the recurve....it was totally instinctive....to the point of where I didn't even realize what I did. When I did get the shot off I was holding over the deers back which was totally wrong for my shooting at the time. It was by trial and error (and having three shots to get it right) that I was able to even make contact at all. What I saw yesterday was what I saw that day so I am using it  It's crazy how accurate this is  I was stacking arrows on the 3-D targets today  I am sure that I will be my typical ball of nerves when the real deal comes along but I am way more confident now  |

So now you have to figure out how to teach this stuff to those of us with simple minds!

No problem! Just like judgment call and the recurve This is a bit harder to explain but not much harder. The hardest part of this high anchor shooting is getting people to hold the right anchor. It is not natural and feels odd for the first few minutes but I haven't had anyone say they couldn't do. (may not have liked it at first.....but could do it ) |

I'M BACK!
Thats right. I have figured out my Trad issues and am now stacking arrows like a pro. I was leaning into the draw, therefore shortdrawing the bow. Because of this I couldn't use my back muscles and was only using my arms. I figured that out and now am shooting great.......at FULL draw.
I really should be ready for the hunt. either way I am feeling great and deer will be in Trouble(with a capital "T") this year!

It's great when a plan comes together I went out in the snow today and lost an arrow due to the hood that I was wearing  No problem though as I will find it when the snow melts I lost it for a bit on the start but got it right back after the first five targets. I'll be ready with either the long bow or recurve |
