RE: I can't help myself ( bought a Silvertip last night )
 

Tj Craig this is like a kids' bow to you (only 58# ) !!!!!!!!! sad part is ....... 58# is pushing my max control weight. Its 60" so that'll help a bit. With Silvertips I think you can interchange the limbs fairly easy.

Can't wait to get it ........ I bought my Dad's Mathews Q2 last weekend, took it out on Sat and I haven't shot a compound in 3 years I guess, the bow isn't tuned to me or anything, and 5 of 6 shots were in a 4" group between 20-30 yards. The shot that didn't hit in that group was my error, not the bows.

With the compound I KNOW I'll kill any deer that comes by - thats what I'm missing with my trad shooting, the I KNOW ....... instead its " I HOPE " [&o]

Anyway, my point is I wasn't excited at all to get, or shoot this Q2. I'll be like a kid at Christmas when thisSilvertip gets here !

No offense, but that lack of confidence needs to be overcome IMO.


BTW: Beautiful bow!!!

RE: I can't help myself ( bought a Silvertip last night )
 

I don't know how to overcome at this point. I'm not confident in my bow anymore, or the power it has. 58# recurve and 650-700 grain arrow ....... assuming I can shoot it well, might help.

Maybe


I dunno ........ I have to change something though, I can't stay the same after having poor result after poor result [&o]

Man, what looker!! I hope it works out for you!

You may want to take a look at this book. It looks at the psychological as well as the physical side of archery.

I agree with Bob-I think Buster even agrees with Bob.Read his post,Tj.He even says he's going out hunting knowing he's not gonna kill a deer like he could with a compound.Sounds like he's not confident in his abilities yet with a trad bow.That doesn't make it wrong.JMO

RE: I can't help myself ( bought a Silvertip last night )
 

Absolutely agree Bob.

Especially if you're going to hunt with it, you do really need to overcome thelack of confidence Buster. But that'll come the more you shoot. I had that problem last year, so I took the compound with me. I can keep a nice 3-4" group out to 15 yards now,but I'm aiming for that group at 25 yards.I plan on using the longbow this season for sure. The more I shoot it, the more I hit where I'm aiming, and so the more confident I feel in my shooting.

BTW, that bow is BEAUTIFUL!! And contrary to popular-belief, you can't own too many bows!;)

Nope.
