My points are screw ins that are glued.

My target is a layered rubber 2x2 that I have ratchet-strapped even tighter.

Fat shafts also help

I will reglue them tonight..As I have to refletch some arrows for Dad anyway so I'll have everything out..Yes they just "slipped" out.

Jeff..trust me these fat shafts,I'll assume the same arrows your shootin.

Jeff..I'll ask you here rather than PM so maybe some others can join in or make recommendations.

What kinda release you shooting? I'm still shooting my original Tru-ball Caliper style release. I love it but from reading some of the posts. Perhaps this is holding me back for paper punching. I've never shot anything else...well thats not entirelytrue I once tried a release that you held the trigger in and let it go to shoot...I'm not sure if that arrow has ever been found..

Based on his choice of target holders, he might be using a pair of needle-nose pliers for a release.

Sorry I didn't see this.

Well....the "Oprah" version is....I noticed most all peopel who took target archery seriously were shooting either a thumb trigger release or a BT release (Or...I've found out...a combination of the two). I asked around (the usual suspects) and I settled on a Carter Just Cuz...based on their recommendations. I tried to find a used one....but was anxious and bought a new one.

VERY Shakey to start with. I've been shooting BB shots for a while now (2weeks???) and honestly Saturday's 3D round was the FIRST time it's felt "normal". Im trying to get a lot of shots off with it right now. I'm shooting 1 450 10yd vegas....our league (HNI) vegas 450....20 BB shots a night and 3D on the weekends. All that....and Saturday was the very first time it felt good (the new release).

I hope that answers your question.

And if you're feeling REALLY froggy try a true BT release.

This is the one I'm shooting



I switched to this from a Carter Insatiable. I just wasn't as consistant as I wanted to be with the Carter. I'm wanting to either get a Tru-Ball ST-3 or a Spott Hogg Friday Night Delight, just to play with and hunt with.

Well I just shot my first comeback round at 8 yards (what I can get in my apartment here at school). Ended up with a 446 28X...Still had some shots where I had to let down a regroup my thoughts and defeat the target panic demons and a few the I let get away a little but 4 bad shots out of 45 is a good start right now. I think I'll hold off on another short game for another week or so and don't plan going to 20 yards until I can shoot 300's with no problems. Gonna be a long road.
