What is your draw wt and length?  A few good wood arrows might help with your enchantment.  I'll see what I can do.   Rick

Rick,

I draw 29.5" and my current arrow is 30.5".  The bow is 58 @ 29"...you're going to be at the GLLI correct?  We'll talk some then.

I'd like some of those special hog arrows you showed me at Compton!  Love to shoot some ACE, Grizzly or Abowyer glue on heads if I went that way.

You shouldn't have any trouble Josh.

the key is to shoot lots of arrows with the longer bow out of your stand after awhile you won't miss the shorter bow and longer bows just shoot better imho!

i have learned to shoot strait up and down when shooting to the left and will reverse cant as well just takes practice good luck!

I stand up to shoot, but 66 and 68"ers out of treestand. Just trim and ziptie branches to platform to maintain camo.

If Josh will allow a slight hijacking of his thread.  :D   How about hunting on the ground?  Blinds, still hunting, stalking?  Any problems there?

I was having a blast shooting it last night!  I was just drilling the target with authority!

I might even be looking at some wood arrows at the GLLI!  :eek:  

What spine in wooden arrows would you recommend?

Josh

There's no substitute for practicing hunting shots, including from a stand or blind.

I've been using a 66" longbow as my main bow for the past 15 years or so, and I hunt from a stand and a blind.  My stand is a Summit Goliath, my blind is a Ameristep Penthouse.  I've also hunted from my stand with a 72" selfbow.  Watch what you are doing, practice from the stand/blind (a few dozen arrows is better than none at all), and it should work fine.
