Taz, in IMO, the main thing is gettin used to the grip. if the
grip is a lot different from your old bow, it will take a little time gettin used to it. but it won't be long before your drivin tacks<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
you have any idea what bow you might want. we could be on the look out for a good price for ya.

I agree with the different grips! I have one bow with a very slim grip and one with a pacmyre(sp?) type grip. It takes two totally different styles to shoot each one but accuracy is good with either when I keep up the practice. It shouldn't take too long for you to realise what you've been missing.<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> I think you'll be tickled pink with the difference between a new bow and the one you have now. Sometimes different bows require different equipment or setups. For example , with my Pearson Anaconda I love my Eagle release. With my Hoyt I cant shoot that release for nothing , it just doesn't feel right.

I have three bows that are all setup almost identical and don't have a problem switching .I learned the hard way that it pays to have a backup bow .

I have recently gone from an old two-wheel compound with a soft area at full draw to a solo cam bow. The hardest thing I found getting used to was drawing back to a solid wall. In my old bow that was a big no-no as it put too much stress on the limbs. However with continued practice I have started getting used to the difference in the feel. I have also started using a release. Concentrating on that technique kind of takes my mind off the hard wall feeling that w I would have felt in my fingertips.
