I know what you mean about the practicing what you preach. I try relaxing, but sometimes I get too relaxed and the monster takes off with the release and my arm still attached to the string. If you know what I mean. That is probably because 73# is not a god spot weight, like TFOX said. I know that. I am not trying to be a great spot shooter, but I am on a league and would like to improve my shooting. I'm on the beginners team, even though I am pretty far from a beginner, because I am not as accurate as those guys. That's fine. I am a hunter that wants to get better. I am going to try to let it float, and practice what you guys are preaching. Thank you for the information. I'm sure Shrek3 will appreciate it.
Please read your response and put the response into context from a hunting scenario.
If you can't relax on a spot at 20 yards on a spot that doesn't move(without fear of it taking off),how are you going to relax on a deer that IS moving and has your emotions going 100 mph.This is where the relaxing takes precidence and holding through the shot means the difference in a trophy or a wounded or missed animal.
Please don't take this as a bash because it isn't.Many people use equipment that is overkill with great success.Just some food for thought.
I realize spots is a different game but the biggest thing that makes it different is 60 shots verses 1.But all the small stuff still apply.
