Title: Dialed in!
Post by: 30coupe on June 22, 2009, 10:26:00 PM
It is amazing what consistent form, well tuned arrows and a great bow can do. I was shooting 15-20 yard groups like this all day today. I finally decided I'd better take a picture just to prove to myself that I wasn't dreaming. This one is from 20 yards!

This is with my 52# Kanati, Beman ICS Bowhunter 500 shafts cut to 29-3/4" BOP, 100 gr. brass insert, 145 gr. field points.    :thumbsup:  

I also had an old Bear green broadhead with short insert (total weight 148 gr.) that was shooting right with the field points. It was shooting completely through my Backyard Buck 3D target...4-6" sticking out the backside. I have some Zwickey Deltas coming. If they penetrate game like these Bears are penetrating my target, I'm going to be one happy camper!    :campfire:

Nice shooting.  My buddy, deadbolt, just picked up a Kanati on a trade.  Sweet shooting bows.

Yes, pdk, Deadbolt pm'd me already about skinny strings. Kanatis are just plain awesome bows. Jason Kendall is a great bowyer and a great guy. He lives about 25 miles west of me. His bows are the greatest bargain in traditional equipment.

I've been watching Masters of the Bare Bow III, several times, and trying to incorporate their tips into my shooting. Man, is it working! I can't believe how beneficial the blind bale is. It really helps you get consistent form, then when you aim all you have to think about is aiming.

Looking good! Love it when things just fall into place and start feeling natural.

Nothing like the flight of a well tuned arrow. Nice shooting.
