RE: How to fix it??
I used to spend a lot of time out East, PA, VA, W. VA. Definitely some pretty country in the Allegheny Mountains. I actually had my interest in Deer and Deer Hunting sparkedwhile in PA on a job with Dad back in the mid 60's, He was doing some test coring for a Dam project some where near Huntington, PA. We had very few deer here in IL at that time.
Those days roaming the mountainsides watching deer sparked a flame inside methat has never died. Dan |

It could be you just SUCK.:D
Nah, we all have bad days. When You're having one... set the bow down and walk away. It's probably a torque, peaking, dropping the arm or something. It's not that there couldn't be something wrong with your set up... but I think it's just a bad day. The best thing you could probably do would be to step up to 10 feet from the target and just shoot blind bails with your eyes closed. Just concentrating on back tension and pulling through the shot. 30 minutes of that will definitely help your form and shots down the line. If we all did it every day we shoot before we try to hit a bullseye, we'd be a lot better off. |

it seems it always turns out to be operator error. Usually a couple of days & we figure out what we're doing wrong. Although there are on the rare instances, mechanical screw ups.

thanks david, I know the bow is fine, it was just a bad and very hot day here in Va, 98 degrees with humidity that could choke a buzzard off a gut wagon.

Stay relaxed...put it away for a week or so....its like golf....pull the clubs out 5 times a year and shoot 36...
Watch your grip and relax your hands...step back and remember the basics that you know so well...try not to think too much...let your instincts that you have developed over the years take you to the target... See ya bud!! |
RE: How to fix it??
Grip it gentle, like a .38 Special song, "Hold on Loosely........Don't let go...."
