No worries, Tufrthnails, our plan is to wait until next season, anyway.

We've both been practicing drawing the bow in our apartment to build strength. I'm to where I can draw it twice in a row without any problems but want to get to where I can draw it at least three times before going to the range. Started focusing on the level to make sure I can adjust it to correct tilt while holding my point of aim. Not taken it to the range, yet.

She can draw the bow back, but not straight. The draw she has now is better than it was a couple days ago, though. Before then she couldn't get it back at all. For now she's relying on twisting her handle wrist leftward while pulling back to gain a bit of leverage before assuming shooting posture. Her goal is, however, to get to where she can draw it back straight---still building the strength.

When we get back down to TN/GA I'll head to Wal-Mart and get a bunch of their archery gear (arrows, knocks, field tips and broadheads) on clearance, either at Thanksgiving break or around January. I saw turkey stuff for steal prices this summer, and the associate told me it wouldn't be long after the start of gun season before archery goes cheap, too.
Right now all we have are aluminum arrows with long feather fletching. I want to get some carbon arrows with smaller synthetic fletching and some arrow cement and get to work. First, though, we'll get used to what we have.
