With the last 6 different bows that I' ve bought in recent years, I' ve found that I' m shooting more and have fine tuned my personal draw length and weight requirements. I' ve found that my shooting has been getting better and better at longer ranges and so has my confidence, which is probably the most important. I' ve found that a very short valley and a hard draw stop has helped very much in my consistency at long range shooting. If I' d have stayed with my old Proline Point Blank, I' d probably still just be a 20 yard hunter. New bows are exciting with the speed and comfort they have brought and after 31 years at archery and bowhunting, I still feel like a kid with a bow and arrow. Havin' fun
