Screw that man.............it's freakin' cold out there. We have just gotten HAMMERED in the last year or two with high winds crazy storms and everything in between........my poor trees have taken a beating. At least the gazeebo is still standing this year.........last year not so lucky. I just took a big limb out of the pool last week [:@]

Atlas, way to stick with it. Appreciate thelegwork in this post. I have to say, I would be ecstatic to have consistent shots like that under any circumstances. Nice shooting.

NOPE,I do this same thing and my shots hit 5" to the right and2 of the 3arrows I shot were touching each other.Mine were not low(one was an inch low but the other 2 were dead on in height,but I have the arrow pretty low over the shelf.


Atlas,are you actually using the pin or compensating once you cant?

Atlas buddy, is that the same coffee cup you referenced with the deer track earlier during the season?? Way to brave the elements, my weather has been mild compared to what im seeing in your yard.

LOL.............no mistaking a leg shot on one of those. I got that one at Gander........it was leaning up against the rackwith no box andthe guy says I can have it for $35.That's about all it's worth...........if that

atlasman

I aimed the same on every shot...........that's the whole point.

I think it's great what you're doing. A lot of people (including me) have at one time or another questioned these types of situations and what exactly is the result of "poor form". I think what you are showing is that....While good form is always something to strive for, your groups shouldn't be an absolute mess if your grip isn't quite perfect or you shoulder isn't exactly positioned right etc....

This thread isvery interesting and no doubt goes to the very "nuts and bolts" of archery. Quite refreshing to actually read something about the actual mechanics of archery, something that will undoubtedlybe used in a hunting situation. If you hunt long enough you're going to find yourself in a position where you might need to take a shot from an awkward angle etc...

Much better that the old: "what's the best bow?" or..." look how fastmy bow is" or "my bow can beat up your bow" threads that have been posted lately.

great post atlas thanks for the leg work in that crappy weather, I had very similar results when shooting today with any form as long as you hold the pin on the target out to 25 yds you should be very close as long as your bow is set up well. I had a little better weather to shoot in though, partly cloudy 75 dgrs today.
