Many people also like to peek at the arrow (lift their head) when shooting at game instead of keeping the head in the same position upon release.

just alittle food for thought.
do you use a sight on your trad.bow?I found that if i kept swapping back and forth from a sighted Compound to a bare recurve ,my shooting wasn't good.
I put the compound away and eventually got rid of it.Maybe it was overload or something on my instincts.Now i look at the target ONLY.If i start peeking at the tip of the arrow,I'm screwed.
maybe you can shoot both great,I can't.

no sights - instinctive with cross dominance ... . targets/stumps I shoot fine, live animals I have a bit of trouble picking a spot, not unusual just have to conquer it

more playing today ......

I cut my ICS 400's down to 27 3/4 inches (I epoxyed the inserts in) and put in the 100 gr brass inserts, using weight tubes, and shooting practice 125 grain 3 blade Thunderheads and 110 grain 2 blade 5/16" ferrule Zwickey Eskimoes with 30 grain aluminum inserts .... I imagine I was 680 grains total weight with the Thunderheads, close to 700 grains with the Zwickey's

those brass inserts stick out maybe 1/8 to a 1/4" outside the shaft - so cutting that much off my shafts I regained when I glues those new brass inserts in - no big deal there.

0-15 yards not a noticable difference in my shooting accuracy. A bit quieter, but those arrows hit with authority, a solid THUMP on impacts. 15 yards and beyond I could tell the arrows dropped more than when I didn't have the extra 100 grains up front.

Great arrow flight, something about the bigger Steel Force glue on's I had didn't jive with my arrows .... they were a bit flighty and not as pretty perfect arrow flight as what these are.

Tonight I am sharpening Zwickey's - see if I can get the ultra razor sharp.
