If you have not seen it yet watch the Schulz video. Lots of good tidbits in there:

These bow are the quietest around!:wink:

I love when things come together. I watched as much as these videos as I could before it was dark. Ten minutes before dark I grabbed my bow and an arrow that had partial fletchings on them and ran out the door. I left my keys in the house so I couldn’t grab the glove and armguard. My first shot was from my porch. I did just as Mr. Schulz said and BAM I hit perfect. I ran out to the target smiling ear to ear and whispering to myself how awsome that was like a giddy school girl. I got my arrow and got about 10 yards away turned focused on the spot and not only burned a hole with my eyes, but the arrow mad it bigger when it passed through just where I was looking!!! 😆

I have been doing some arm exercises to strengthen my shoulder and with the form that Schulz suggested, the “in one motion shot” allows for my body to do the work rather than just my arms. I didn’t feel one pain or ache. Oh, and I don’t need to forget to add that I didn’t even hit my arm with the string!!!

Thanks guys once again for all of the info!!
