Neat bow, I'd get some Judo points and make that a bunny blaster!
I might consider doing that, once I get some experience. Right now I'm shooting accurately out to 15 yards. And by accurately I mean about 3-4 inch groupings.

Right now my teacher tends to say that my grip on the bow is too tight and I've noticed that as well. Been working on it though, seems to be that when I release the string I think that the bow will fly out of my hand unless I grip it tight.
We were also testing my arrow's stiffness and apparently my predator II's are a bit too stiff for my bow, later on once I build up some strength I'll most likely get a second pair of limbs and up the draw weight a bit and then it'll be just about perfect.
Will still be a while until then though, the only upright bows I've shot were compound, so holding 30# is already a bit high for me.

You don't need a lot of poundage for deer hunting. I've been bowhunting now for 47 years and if you take a look at my signature, you can see the bow poundages of my two recurves.

Thanks.
i dont shoot traditional, but i do use a strap on my bow around my wrist, that way when i shoot, i just let the bow "fall" if you will, but the strap keeps it on my wrist. the strap isnt tight at all, its very loose, i can pull my hand in and out with no adjustments. you should open yer hand if you will before the shot,imo, to get the best shot.

I can get some new limbs for 100€(about $140), available in 5# increments all the way to 60#. I was thinking of getting a pair of 40# before I go back to Canada.(currently in Austria).

Hmm, so a bow/finger sling? I've seen those before, my teacher uses one. I tend to use my pointer finger and my thumb to hold the bow loosely, but I might look into a finger sling sometime.

That works well. Some shooter turn the other fingers in, behind the riser, so there is no way to torque. A sling works, but if you plan to compete it may not be legal for some tournaments. For me, it's just something else to keep up with (or loose).

Seems about right yep, I've been getting steadier shots as of now and working on my releases.
I find that if I don't concentrate 100% and take my time I make bad releases and pull the string off to the right. Also resewed my [s]finger guard[/s], it was starting to fall apart on me.
