Coming together, thank you all

[Dan A]

Well with a lot of help from all you great folks on here I now finally have this new bow together.

Should have gotten on here before I bought that first right handed bow a little over a month ago.

So it's all straightened out, brace height fixed, nock point adjusted to where it is supposed to be.

I just got through doing my first practice session with it. I shot at 10 yards only.

Wasn't too bad but had a little trouble settling down and getting consistent with form and anchor point moving to left hand.

Got a long ways to go but am pleased with the switch to left hand and think its going to pay off well for me.

After 60 arrows, here is my last group. I always try and stop around 60 arrows and with a good group (for me). Positive end to the day.

Again, thanks for all the help from many of you.



I think I'll get there and be ready by our Oct. 1 archery season for whitetail.

This place is the best and your ready for 10/1 right now    nice grouping and good looking arrows!

[Petrichor]

Good deal bro. Shoot straight

[CoachBGriff]

Sounds good!  

One last bit of advice... don't spend too much time shoot at a target.  Mix it up a bit with some stump shooting or the like.

When I was first starting out, I made my greatest progress shooting at pop bottles and tennis balls in the yard.  I'd toss a ball and then shoot at it.

Shoot at clumps of grass, old stumps, or anything that stands out in the woods.  That helped me a bunch in conjunction with bag practice.

If you have the space Try setting up another target so you can shoot back and forth without walking so much.  

Mixing it up by shooting at tennis balls or clumps of grass is great practice too. Judo points or other blunt tips  come in really handy for that kind of shooting so you don't loose your arrows under grass.  I bet I have close to 2 dozen arrows somewhere in my lawn.

I have only lost 1 judo point and I ended up finding it a few months later. They will save you money in the long run if you start to do more dynamic shooting drills.

I like that advice about shooting at other things. I am going to give that a try. Seems like it will be a lot of fun as well.

Thanks everyone!

I've been trying to shot 6 arrows, one each from a different distance 10, 15, 18, 20, 22, 25ish but still  hold a 6 inch group with all arrows.
