Default RE: Leaving it all behind and hanging up the bow for good.

I think thats great I wish I could shoot one well enough to hunt with.
Define what well enough is Bigbuckslayer3 ? I think theres no doubt c903 and myself could pick up the compounds again and shoot lights out compared to what we do right now. Is that the point of archery though, putting the arrow withing 1/4" of where its suppose to go every single shot ? Is 10" groups "good enough" ? 8" groups ? 2" groups ?

c903 - don't trick it out. Shoot off the shelf, seal skin, bare tune your shafts and you'll have arrow flight that the Hoyt guys will envy ! I made some 63# spine shafts up the other day and tried to get them all within 10 grains of each other, and though they're heavy (about 600 total grain weight) they fly nicely.

There was a thread on wet feathers ..... wet feathers shouldn't impact your shooting much if your shafts are tuned to your bow. I believe this. How many guys can strip their feathers/vanes off their shafts and their arrows fly straight ?
