RE: Starting to shoot a scope
I shoot both Freestyle and Bowhunter Freestyle classes. When I started with a scope I went directly to a 6X scope after surveying what most archers used around the club. I have to admit that I shot a few wrong spots for a while until I got accumulated to the scope on target. The movement was not that much of a big deal for me, and was shooting well fairly quickly. The hard part is going back and forth between classes and not making mental mistakes. If I have been shooting pins for a while, remembering to change the sight elevation on the scope is a challenge sometimes. I like to use freestyle to practice for pin shooting to increase my holding ability. Practicing pin gapping is a separate issue after shooting scope.
