Well I spent my two days with Rick and it was amazing !!
We left home on Jan. 5 and drove three fairly easy days arriving at Conway ,Arkansas the afternoon before my instruction.
Rick picked me up the next morning. The first thing I did was shoot some arrows and have him analyze my shooting. After the initial shooting we started the bow tuning,shooting through the chronograph, and arrow tuning to try and come up with the best combination of speed and weight for my bow. In the end my arrows were shortened an inch and front end weight reduced about 100 gr. After all this bow and arrow tweaking and with his expert coaching my arrows started hitting somewhat where I was looking 🙂 This process took a half a day.
The rest of the time was spent shooting and when I missed we talked about what had gone wrong. This is where he excels,in being able to tell you what you did to create that miss. The last hour or so was spent making notes to help me figure out problems on my own.
I tried one of his Dakota bows and the grip on the riser is awesome.The finger grooves make for a very consistent hand grip and they are very quick smooth drawing bows.
To sum it all up I wish I had done it a long time ago !! He is a very knowing individual that has a very ,down to earth positive approach. His comment to me was bring your bow arrows and an “open mind”
The hotel that Rick recommends and where we stayed is reasonably priced,clean and fairly new with a good breakfast
My good wife spent a day in Little Rock shopping and found lots to do while I was at the class. Arkansas is a very friendly State ! It was a great holiday for both of
us !
