Thanks Richard

Welcome to the forum Steve… if anyone has those aluminum shafts, Richard does ( or knows where to get them) . I haven’t shot aluminum in years . Just have odds and ends. They always work well.. now mostly shoot wood.

I fully understand your situation,  dealing with the medical establishment can be very frustrating.  Especially under all the stress of the covid….at least they sorted out the shoulder – sounds like.?.

Hopefully you’ll be shooting as good as before soon

Best wishes on a full recovery

The point of the exercise for me,  is picking out the spot I want to hit , on whatever type or size of target I am engaging at the moment. Without the help of an artificial aiming point*. I find this gives for me the most realistic practice… imho..

* although I sometimes do that also

Looks like we ( NM) are getting a bit of snow 3/4 inches+ today . Not much wind , so not to bad so far.

We shall see what tomorrow brings. Not big on the cold , but we need the moisture….

That not swallowing well sucks.. I like a piece ot toast ( fresh sourdough bread)with my coffee!

I have shoulder problems coming– but so far – shots and stretching are working .  Wishing you a quick and full recovery…[ wishing me one too 😜 haha]

The woods are my church . I go as often as I can

I like both versions and do similar events for my own training. Both styles give good practice in different veins . I  normally don’t mark the tgts but pick a spot and shoot for center, I like the paper plate to shoot at ( vital area ) but unless you shoot only one arrow per round– if the first shot is center– one has an aiming point for the rest of the string …so, I like to put a bunch of plates up ( on the bale) and shoot one arrow at each , from different ranges. I normally run 5 in a string because that is my quiver load out.

Of course I mostly do above getting ready for the hunt . When I feel lazy I just shoot a bunch in the center ( and or practicing form)…😃

Welcome to the forum. I am not familiar with your  dad’s bows . I noticed he wrote an article for the Fall 92 Tradbow… you could ask the folks at Tradbow ( Robin the incomparable Webmom ) to help you access that mag or possible other issues that might have your dad or,  advertisement of his bows.
