Well first, thanks to all for the tips. I shot a few rounds this morning when I got home and had mixed results. I didn't get upset though, since I'd been awake for 25 hrs, my contact lenses were give me a fit. I shot again this evening before I came to work and was VERY pleased. I tried a couple diiferent things. I've been pretty sure all along that my problem was my grip, I HOPE I've fixed that now. When I was at the shop I did have my peep changed to a different style. Maybe this helped too. Also, I started triggering my release a little differently and I like it, it just feels like I have better control now. I really do try to keep a constant anchor and follow-thru.

DaveC, I was thinkin the same thing when you mentioned in another thread, that you lived an hour and a half from the shop you bought from. I'd like to hear more about what you think of them, and more about the fellas and the 80#'ers. Email me if you feel like sharing anymore thoughts, and don't worry, I'd never run my mouth.

As for the speed issue, I'm happy with my 281-286fps, but I'm not against more speed OR less speed. I'm ALWAYS open to try new ideas. I'm being tempted to try the "no peep" thing right now. I'm really trying to learn as much as I can about the technical aspects of archery. I have a long wat to go, that's why I come here every chance I get. I don't have a computer at home so I have to do it in spare time at work. Nights are pretty slow, so I have plenty.

Thanks to all again and yes, I do shoot with a sling.
