Title: My New Tip
Post by: fmscan on September 07, 2015, 05:22:00 PM
Had my new Tip for a short time, very happy with it. I shoot in a winter league and get picked on a lot, cuz my shooting is quite bad, but now with my new Tip those guys are in for a shock (MAXWELL)! I still have a few things to work out but I feel I am shooting much better. Bow is 43#, KOA on limbs, Double Carbon, Rosewood Riser...

Very beautiful bow. Am I with jt85 about your form. You ever wonder why they pick on you? Lol. Just kidding  some bows you can shoot really well, some you cant hit the broad side of a barn. Glad your shooting better!

If that bow doesn't "turn around" for you, Ill buy it in a second. Nice piece and I hope you'll give us a report on how that double carbon performs.

I  Maxwell, have never disparaged Franky's shooting, my daughter on the other hand well!!!  Nice tip Frank. I am concerned that you may reach your bucket list this winter, but as the princess says that is quite laughable.

Maxwell, as league president you may have a false sense of security, be berry berry careful, day of reckoning is at hand, the Princess can't help you...

I see what your problem is, it's very clear in the picture, your looking at the camera instead of the spot on the target !

Frank you might be right, I shoot a gun case in my cellar range yesterday, it was three feet right of where I was looking.  Penetration was excellent.  I switched bows right after fiasco.

You're going to need a mirror and an arrow to complete that "trick shot". I'll bet Dave never envisioned his work to be used in such a way.    :saywhat:

The other problem is the bow is righty and you're shooting lefty!
I love a dark, one piece recurve, yours is a beauty.

Beautiful.  I see ur problem.  Ur not using ur back muscles.
Title: Re: My New Tip
Post by: fmscan on September 09, 2015, 06:04:00 PM
Keith, Back muscles? What does that have to do with shooting a bow? Maybe your on to something, cuz I've seen you shoot! Love my TIP...

That's one way to keep guys from looking over your shoulder during league.
Title: Re: My New Tip
Post by: fmscan on September 10, 2015, 07:21:00 PM
Ray, they do look over my shoulder, while screaming and laughing at me! Wait til this year.... They might just join a bowling league when I'm done with them...

what league are you shooting in? is it a trad league? Nice looking bow, but I'd find a new coach if I were you!

You'd better keep a close eye on Old William.....he's a sneaky one.  

Good luck with the new bow Frank!  Better looking than any of those garage sale bows Bill has in his stable!     :laughing:

That is cold Tim and to think I was setting aside a beautiful black and white ebony Schafer  for you.  Junior gets it now, and for that Frank I'm going to take Zen mind classes to help with concentration and accuracy.  So there*****.   The end.

Post by: fmscan on September 11, 2015, 08:24:00 AM
Tim, my bow is better looking than Bill's, in fact I'm better looking too.
Larry, the league is at wildwood in Eldridge. We shoot Thursday nights, compound and trad with handicap scoring, which I will never figure out.
I can best describe it as similar to a prison league! Don't directly look anyone in the eyes!
Bill aka Grand Pooba, Maxwell handle here is President and gives an inspirational speech every Thursday night. Even mooned us once! Go figure, of course look at who in the White House. Always looking for guys....

Might be a good shooting form for hunting actually.  I've always felt like deer can sense when I'm looking at them.  That could be the answer.  Great looking bow by the way.  I've noticed that a new bow always seems to make me shoot better, even if it doesn't feel like it fits as good as my old one.  I guess it's a mind thing.....or maybe just a good reason to get a new bow right before season opens every year.

Nice looking tip!

I see the form problem. It looks like your string hand elbow is a little too high. But, looking good is always more important than form, and with that new bow, you look really good.
