Default got some target practice in yesterday.

I got my range set up i can shoot 10 20 and 30 yards. with 30 being the ally at the back of my house.

I did some shooting last night. first arrow was dead on.
I did good for having not shot in a year or so.
I shot some broad heads did good .
I had not shot 30 yards since i got the bow. i tried it. i was about 8 inch's high.
can anyone tell me how much to move my pin.

had a issue last night though.
i was fishing and got stabbed by a catfish which has stopped me from practicing at least for a week or two i hope.

I am still having the arrow jump issue i noticed that some of my nocks where tight on the bow. i am thinking of changing them all out for new ones.

I also noticed the d loop was on the arrow. so unsure what is the issue.
When i can shoot i am going to try and get some video of me shooting

the loop seems to be pulled up on the bottom of the nock seem to be riding up on the string pushing on the nock.

Well you will have to move your pin a little at a time to see how much, you will be moving it up if your shooting high. Hope that hand gets better.

well i plan was to shoot today with video of the loop area and nock area. then shoot on the rest area and then on my overall draw.
I noticed yesterday if i draw slowly it would not jump. i also think do to not shooting i might have jerked when drawing the weight.
There is not much i can do untill i get my hand unbandged. or when the swelling goes down. properly atleast a week

i will get one tomorrow i tried to take one after it happen but the camera would not work right. Not realy much to see it is swollon and has two little punctures that kind look like aT shaped broadhead. I think the toxins from the horns is the cause for 90% of my issues.
I also noticed a little punctue mark on the other side on my middle finger i think it hit the bone went down the side of it and just broke the skin on the other side. just shoot on a clean pass through.
i will think twice before i grap a catfish again
