Nice Curves

nice chootin!

Same style finger tab I used for a lot of years. So much more consistent than a glove. But I found out to have two...one in your pack....they are easier to lose than a glove....
Forearm position has been the hardest form flaw for most to over come. It does need to be straight in line with the arrow....A release will lessen the effect of a small flaw, but never totally correct it. I'm sure you'll find your groups with your compound a lot better after all this type of shooting....Good job!!!

Will definitely be getting a back up or two; nice thing about a tab you can slip on a thin pair of camo gloves for hunting. I was thinking the same thing about the compound being easier with all this form work. Decided to take a couple days off from shooting, too many loud bikes anyway.

[CAPTJJ]

Now that I have my form settled I am going to try blank bail shooting for a while to ingrain everything; pretty boring but should help in the long run.

Pulled out the 40 lb @ 28" bow I plan on starting off with for hunting and strung it; should be around 42-43 lbs at my DL. It's a Martin X-200, 60" AMO; a new 2009 model that was made in 2010, they changed the wood that year and I found this at a steal of a price watching the auctions. I really like the riser, laminated birch that was dyed green. I think it will be short enough for the blind for turkeys, the black limbs are good for the dark blind. I was thinking of carbon arrows but decided to try aluminum again, easier to find the right spine with more choices and cheaper, too. Going with the XX75 Camo Hunter in 1916, should be good with 100-125 grain tips, may need to cut a little off; will use 5" feathers for broadheads. Plan to try shooting off the shelf with a simple calfskin rest; may try a stick on like the Bear Weather Rest.

Sharp looking bow I like the green a lot.

Gorgeous bow!

Shot my first deer with a PSE coyote takedown at 55#. Buddy broke a limb on it and I picked up my compound and havn't looked back, too bad such a feeling of accomplishment. I should get back into it. Good luck to you this season! Man that thing is pretty!

Took the words out of my mouth, Steve.

Nothing prettier than the wood on a riser!!  Good find!!

[CAPTJJ]

Got shafts in and fletched up a few arrows for the green bow, 1916 Easton Camo Hunters w/ 5" RW feathers with a good helical. Have some white nocks coming to match  and some green and black feathers to make some more for turkeys. Holding off till I shoot a little and try to arrow tune, may need to cut them down some, especially if I want to use heavier points.



Still shooting blank bail and form is becoming consistent and feels natural; I'll be shooting at 10 yds and working my way back soon. If I can get consistent out to 20 yds with the light bow, I'll start shooting the green one; maybe I can get good enough to try for a deer at close range this fall, definitely by next spring for turks.

You sure do have patience and commitment to this.

Arrows came out nice. Wouldn't be surprised if you felt comfortable by fall if you keep at it.
