Default A simple change..... a world of difference

So I had a little burr on my release and really wanted to try something new. I had shot the Scott Lil Goose for about 6 years. I picked up the Silver Horn at Lens and decided it felt good enough to change and it's much easier on the loop. So I've shot it for a few days with the new bow but it just didn't feel right. I was having a tough time getting an anchor that felt right. I'd shorten it, lengthen it and back and forth for a 2 or 3 days. So I went to Len's to shoot a few arrows because we got 50 mile an hour winds going on outside. I was switching back and forth from Lil Goose to SilverHorn, shortening it lengthening it. Len walked in and was talking to the two of us in the room. I made a comment I'm just having a time getting this new release and an anchor down solid. The guy left and Len said, give me your bow. He cranked it down all the way so there was no strain. He said there, now draw and anchor. He said that isn't ever going to work like that. He measured me, the bow and my waistline. LOL Then he showed me the barrell length difference in the releases and started explaining this and that. He finally said, look, give me your release. He made a change in my bow, changed the release, moved my peep and nose button and said draw that and anchor here. Presto, the magic anchor point. Head errect and facing straight out with a full field of view. I tell ya, there's nothing to this archery crap. LOL I've been at it for 36 years and it's never been easier...with Len around. [&:]
