Thanks guys... I REALLY appreciate all the tips, and even more than that the push to start hitting it hard. I'm just not as young as I used to be and sorta dread diving head-long into this getting-in-shape thing again. And I know -- that's all the more reason to.

And Matt and Rick... You're right, obviously... I've been concentrating on good form and groups moreso than impact point, though I'm proud of how my shooting has been this summer. I haven't messed with really fine tuning things because that's not the sight that's gonna be on my bow. That's an HHA ELT-5000 with a moveable sight pin which came on a bow I won a couple years ago from LeEarl over on AT when he made his tuning DVD.

I think this is an awesome sight (it's by far the brightest pin I've ever seen with over three FEET of fiber optics wrapped up in its housing)... and I want to shoot a multi-pin sight for my elk trip. I'm afraid at the moment when that elk stepped out there and all that adrenaline was flowing, I'd forget to loosen the nob and slide the pin to the setting it would need to be on... Hence, the lack of fine tuning on this one.

I've been shooting my Allegiance mostly this summer, and it's spot-on... but I'm slowly giving way to thoughts of taking the Guardian as my primary bow in the fall.

But the main thing is... I need to get in shape! Two more weeks of working on putting together this 90-page PowerPoint presentation to complete my new-hire training for my medical sales job I started six months ago, and my free time will go WAY up so I can start doing what I need to -- and feel mentally refreshed in the process.
