The backyard season will be on hold for the next couple of weeks. I will be helping out two other gentleman at a christian camp teach some kids some archery skills. the nights this teaching go on are suppose to be the nights that we shoot. I am gettinb busy doing other things on the left over nights and will have to get my limbs picked up soon to fix my bow with.
Thanks again BT for that. It continues to amaze me how the archery group stays so close to getther and helps out when ever they can. I hope to be in a positon to do that more than I am now some day.

You couldn't do much more than you are now stilllearning. You have gotten people together to shoot you have gotten your kids to shoot you have shared your archery experiences with many And you will continue to do so. How much more could you do ?

Teach some more kids........... the two fellows i went with last night took me out to a christian based camp and we had 20 people there in groups of five that all were eager to shoot the recurve that we had with us. I was there to just help when needed and point out things that were being done wrong on the line. We had three instructors and only five kids on the line at a time so it was almost one on one. It went well and we are back out there this Thursday, next Tuesday and the last day will be next Thursday again. It was fun.

Well Eastern was over and we took a look at the bow while supper was cooking. We noticed it was real easy to change the modules on this bow so we went at it. fist we took out the #5 mod and put in the #4. The draw length felt better buttttt....... After drawing and looking things over Eastern thought we should try the #3 mod. lets give it a try. Again it felt even better than the last change and draw length was looking pretty good ......... Buttttttttttttt Yup lets go one more down and see what she looks like then as the mods are very easy to change on this gift from God bow. Wow does it feel good now. Yup down from the 5 mod to the 2 mod. can you believe that. change the kisser button and the peep around and came out looking like this. And shooting like this. I admit shooting at 10 yards to get started but still wow. I have shot the bow so much in the last 2 days that I tired very quickly and the 20 yard shots were not great so I did not play with the bow to much as I was a little wavy. still hit one 9 ring though. All in all a great night but lets hear it folks how does it look now. Any and all advice welcome.
