I have been shooting. I just stopped writing. I apologize. I have been varying my shooting from 10 to 20 yards. I am very consistent in this range at hitting a playing card on my target face. Clearance issues popped up with my fletching. I have ended up twisting my arrow nock so my cock feather (different colored feather) is facing down. This allowed complete clearance past my cable guard / guide which was the offending object. You'll remember I am using a whisker biscuit rest and my first thought was that the feathers were getting damaged by the rest. THIS WAS NOT the case. My other two feathers on my arrows show very little wear after almost a full month of shooting. And it's not because I'm not shooting. ;>)
I worked a little harder this weekend and have now shot and adjusted my sight all the way out to 40 yards. I must say this bow - rest - arrow combination has been shooting GREAT! The arrows are light so my sight has one pin for 10 - 20 - 30 yards. And I'm consistently hitting playing cards. I just started shooting at 40 yards so I am not quite as consistent yet and it was getting dark. I am having a little trouble seeing the sight ring in low light situations. I am going to really snug my anchor up and hold the bow still at the release. We'll see how this helps in my shooting at 40 yards in low light. The other issue I see is the further you are from your target the smaller it is in your sight window. The pin covers the playing card. I have been trying some breathing techniques as I release but any thoughts any of you have are welcome. The next post will have photos...
