Here is a nice group at 20 yards. All I need is now is to get a nice whitetail in front of me. Here are some pics:

Same here. Good shooting. I just got into it less than 6 months ago. Been shooting those "other" bows for a long time before that. Didn't see the light earlier. If I may ask, what setup are you using out there this year?

Thats a great group!! here's a tip for you that i learned a few years ago.
I found a small sticker one time that said STAY-CALM-PICK A SPOT...and that made it a little easier on me because i stuck it on the inside of the upper limb and every time i started to get nervious i would look at it and repeat it in my mind..
I hope you do well! Aim small miss small  :thumbsup:

Bodork, no I couldn't get one in front of me last year.  A situation came up.

Leo, my setup is gonna be my 1969 56" 45# Bear Grizzly with 2117 gamegetter II's with old (green) Bear two blade Razorheads.

Really good shooting. I thought that was a Bear Grizzly when I saw the picture. Just a bit of advice , you might be a bit overspined with those 2117's with that 45# grizzly. You might want to try some 2016's or even 1916's. Regardless of what arrows you're using that some really good shooting from that distance.

That bow looks nice!  :thumbsup:  

Shoot a broadhead tipped arrow and see if it impacts right with your arrows with field points.

That's something you'll want to know about. It may tell you about if your spine is ok.

Make sure you shoot broadheads before you hunt; but it looks like yer doing fine!        
                     
I started out with traditional equipment - in the days before compounds; and your only going to get better and better. I am excited for you; as I remember my first hunts.
                                     
         
Keep us informed ! And keep those broadheads Sharp!!

I am 17 days and a wake up from bow season  :)

yeah I figured I was using some pretty heavy shafts. But they work really good. I have been shooting my broadheads with them and they fly pefectly.

I went by a spine chart on eastonarchery.com for a 29" arrow on a 45# recurve with a 150 grain tip
