Day 5 of shooting and I'm getting the hang of it, the light bow is great to (re)learn how to shoot a recurve correctly. Finding the center of the target more often, and seem to shoot my best when I first start; you can't think about aiming, I usually start hitting high/left if I do.

First round this morning(only 10 yds ;)):

Things are starting to click now. Figured out one reason I keep hitting high, lowering my bow arm instead of bending at the waist; just like shooting out of a treestand, not dropping the bow arm to aim will cause high hits/misses. ;)

Looks real good, you'll be more than ready by fall at this rate. Any deer with the recurve will be an incredible accomplishment, even more so in the ADK's.

Thanks guys, but I must admit most groups aren't nearly that good, it's nice to know the potential is there though. My goal is to hunt with a recurve next year, not a lot of practice time for me during the summer.

Hadn't shot in a few weeks but was suprised to see that I could group pretty good and I wasn't shooting high any more. I find I can hit the bullseye more often if I concentrate on a spot and don't aim for too long; it's pretty cool when the arrow ends up where you want it without sights.
