I bought an old Oregon bow, strapped it down to 67#, bought a stabilizer and made a wrist wrap, and bought a caliper release. I forget what make they are, but I'm shooting 75gr mechs on the nose of 25" Easton CarbonAeros Carbon Excel 500's. Haven't had a chance to chrono yet, but they're crazy fast. My bow has an instring circular peepsight, and usual fiber-op line pin sights, again, I forget what make. I'm shooting average 3" groups at 20yrds, but the weird thing is, I use the same pin for everything from 10-25 yrds, and they all hit the same, guess these carbons are just that flat shooting. I don't know much about bows, and any advice would help? Anything that I should keep in mind while hunting, I'm a rifle hunter by passion, but I'm falling in love with the bow. How different is the hunt other than proximity of game and importance of angles etc?? I'm really looking forward to lining out on a fat doe this year, so any advice that'll help me get there, and get her down is more than welcomed and very appreciated.

BTW, on a side note, I'm not getting any noticeable "arrow wobble," visible or impacted, while my friend, who is also a rookie, and shoots a 47# PSE Nighthawk, and shooting practically the same arrow, the 600's at 27", is showing huge impacted wobble clear out to around 18 yrds, and the visible wobble looks to be a tail diameter of around 16". The only other difference is that he is shooting 100gr points, and I'm only 75, but his arrows are a bit heavier per inch than mine, and are longer too, so the balance is the same on both of ours. Anyone know what's going on?

Screw the 10 ring, keep them in the zero!!!

these are just a view of the good boards out there. Keep an open mind and don't be afraid to take advice and do some experimenting to find out what works for you.

I would suggest you and your buddy make a drive to the nearest pro shop. You need to get those bows tuned and tweaked before heading to the field!!! Make sure each bow is paper tuned and flying at there best,.... you owe that to the game we hunt. Good luck and good hunting.

Yeah, Everything I did was at the proshop. The arrows I'm pulling are what he said I should be playing on my budget, and he set me up, got them cut to length, and adjusted my drawlength, and weight, maybe five or six other things. Like I said, I'm not really worried about hitting what I'm looking at, as long as I'm not missing something that's going to be different from range to field?
