Robin,

Thank you for noticing this post and placing the Don Thomas article on the website. I am actually quite pleased by the highly constructive advice this topic has generated. I lurk around the shadows on various other archery forums and am more than a little used to posts being quickly co-opted by individuals attacking one another for offering opinions they do not immediately agree with…

I will definitely work toward bale training on a progressive basis with the heavier poundage bow while continuing to shoot my standard draw weight recurve for target practice and league shooting.
