Yes, I've been shooting off the felt piece on the shelf. I went out for a few minutes today and fared a bit better than Saturday. I used only fiberglass arrows today. I still think I'll try an arrow rest. The arrows want to fall off the felt unless you hold the bow just right. I'll just keep practicing for now. I'll teach myself eventually like I did with the compound bow. Once I get things right and become more accurate I just have to stay consistent with everything. It's sort of like learning how to shoot guns, just cheaper and a lot more exercise, which I need. Thank you for your help ScottyCoyote.
