Any tips?? Yeh, I got 7% Nibbs, 80gr ACC's, 50 gr HotTips, you name it. OOOOH, those tips? Not a whole lot specific. Only what a good friend and pro used to grill into me while we were shooting. Shoot form, forget score. Shoot the bow, let the bow shoot the arrow. Aim the bow, aim the bow, aim the bow.

For quite a while now I've learned the best way to practice is to shoot one arrow and then retrieve it. This takes away any pressure of trying to shoot groups, not to mention that you don't break near as many nocks. Shooting one arrow lets your brain get in gear and make the best shot with that one arrow. Afterall, that's the only one that's important. And while walking back and forth it gives you time to reflect on what you did right, or if you messed up the shot, you think of what to do to correct it. "Never dwell on what you did wrong. Always think what you need to do to make your best shot." From the time you step to the target line think of every part of shooting in steps. Set your feet the same every time--and glue them to the floor. Hand placement. Draw and aim. And aim, and aim, and aim, and........... Notice I didn't say release. You don't think about the release. It just happens.

Now I digress. Tweak your drawlength down to the last 1/16th inch if you want the best out of you. Use the wingspan method to get close. Then work with the bow. It often takes me months before I get every aspect of it down to a Tee. But then I never quit tinkering with the bow anyway. I'm always changing stuff to see what happens, and what works for me. I got my SlayR back in March and am still tweaking. And still getting more speed. I started out shooting 56lbs and 27" draw doing 282fps. Right now it's at 27.5" draw, 53lbs and shooting 306-307fps. Tinker, Tinker, Tinker.
