Hi Bruce, It’s not that the target disappears or blurs, I just become unsure how to aim at it. Example: at the weekend shoot came up on a big elk target about 23 yards, drew, looked and looked and shot right over it’s back. How do you miss a target the big?? Next target was a small cinnamon bear under a pine tree. About 18yards, had to crouch a little to get a shot. Drew up and shot right away,,,10 ring! Maybe I’m just over thinking the shot sometimes.

I don’t think brace height specs are etched in stone. Adjust your height up or down one twist at a time until it feels right and produces good arrow flight. If it feels right but still getting some porpoising, adjust the nock height. In my opinion the bow will tell you when things are right.

Thanks. I shoot a carbon express heritage 150 at 29″ with a 145gr point, drawing about 48#. What arrow you got there?

Well I gotta tell ya, they look great and you’re right, perfect for 3D. Would it bother you if I made something similar?

Yeah, there’s the rub Brett,,,”proper practice.” Sometimes I find myself flinging arrows just so I can go pull them and shoot’em again. I just love shootin the bow. I know I need to slow down and take it one shot at a time. But then there are the times I can just pin wheel a group with hardly any effort. I guess that’s when the subconscious is doing it and I don’t get my brain in the way. Some people used to say that you had to go brain dead after coming to full draw.

Dave, I wouldn’t quite put myself in that category,,, compared to the guys I shoot 3D with,,,I’m just tryin to keep up.

Brett, As far as describing my shot,,,I shoot split finger (one over, two under) anchor with the tip of my middle finger in the corner of my mouth, thumb straight up behind the corner of my eye, elbow level with the arrow, shoulders down and squared back (for back tension). Aiming,,,focus (or try to) on the center point of the target, seeing the tip of the arrow out of perpheral vision,,,that’s where the issue starts. I find myself looking at the target, then to the tip of the arrow and back and forth like that until my fingers go off. When I stay focused on the target, the shot is good,,,when I wander back and forth, the group opens up. Guess I need to up my mental game.
