Default First time this has ever happened...

I finally got some pictures of my custom over-draw for my bow, I'll post and update everything tommorrow. Tonight was so exciting though, I put my rest on, and I went outside to make sure my sights were still accurate because the rest location might have changed which would have changed everything.

Anyways...

First shot was a good shot (only shooting 20 yds. away though), right in the bullseye (2" diameter), but a little off to the edge. Next shot was in there as well, so I'm assuming there is nothing wrong with the sights.

My third shot (and last arrow I was going to shoot for the night), released and made a horrible sound (at the time, now that sound is music to my ears).

I robin-hooded the second arrow I shot!!! This is the first time I've ever done this, man it was fricken awesome! Split the nock right down the middle, I mean it was fricken awesome!

So, I guess in closing, I think my sight is pretty well on with the new rest. I'll put pictures up tomorrow.

I'm just questioning whether my bow is tuned properly though. I mean I am hitting right where I am aiming, but my arrow angles are changing, but that may be because it's a soft target, and not a solid one? My arrow/string/sight pins all line up perfectly, and my arrow is level at full draw. Guess I'll just have the shop take a look. Just thought I'd share this story.

best way to tell if the rest is tuned is to shoot er at 40 yards or so, and see how the arrow is flying, if its no good then take it in

All right thanks I'll try that as soon as I get home from college today. That makes sense, it may just be because it's a soft target (delta 4x4 or w/e it's called). I'll try it on my actual deer today I reckon. Thanks for the 02
