I might consider doing that, once I get some experience. Right now I'm shooting accurately out to 15 yards. And by accurately I mean about 3-4 inch groupings.

those classes will help alot.
Right now my teacher tends to say that my grip on the bow is too tight and I've noticed that as well. Been working on it though, seems to be that when I release the string I think that the bow will fly out of my hand unless I grip it tight.

We were also testing my arrow's stiffness and apparently my predator II's are a bit too stiff for my bow, later on once I build up some strength I'll most likely get a second pair of limbs and up the draw weight a bit and then it'll be just about perfect.

Will still be a while until then though, the only upright bows I've shot were compound, so holding 30# is already a bit high for me.
