Took the bow out again to try and figure things out.

Grouping arrows 8" to 1' high... only a few odd balls low (on poa).

Called a bud, joined him at another range.

He had me make sure I was only holding bow with the v between the thumb and fore finger. When I did that, I could semi-consistently keep the arrows where they belonged.

But, there's a problem, it became obvious that to hold the bow like that and be able to bring the string back to my face to anchor, I really need more draw length. when I pull the string to anchor (anchor is nock about to my lips, nose to string), I'm fighting myself to stay there (I'm pulling against the axis of my arm as if I were trying to compress it). This makes it hard to keep my hand properly positioned.

So, I'm gonna do a ton of drawing practice to see if I can just beef up enough to get by. In reality, I need another inch or so of string travel...but I'm maxed out on my '03 dually (unless Bowtech 04 cams will fit on it...which I doubt). I don't really want to take a $200-$300 hit right now to sell this bow off and pick up an 04 to get another 1" to 1"2 in length.
