Questions 2 Answer!

The shoulder is holding up well.  I'm keeping my draw arm out in front of me and as I draw the elbow is pulled back close to my stomach. When the bow is fully drawn I lift my elbow up high to the correct shooting position. It seems to be working. I have a lot of work to do though because one of my goals is to shoot the Sunrise Ski Lodge 3D shoot in July. Check it out here http://www.sunriseskipark.com/3-d%20shootout%202011.htm
I'm ready to paper tune this bow to the arrows I currently have. Although I will not hunt with this brand of arrows. It's a light arrow, only 7.6 grains per inch. My hunting arrows will be 400 to 425 grains. One of the target arrows shattered on impact with the soft foam target. Can't have that when I'm hunting. Perhaps the arrow shattered because the bow is so powerful.... no, I don't think so. It was just a bad arrow.  The bow is really shooting well. I love it.

Here is my question for the next few days....
  1. Shall I use the lighter arrows to shoot at the Sunrise shoot and then switch to a heavier arrow for hunting? If it's yes then sight pins will need to be moved. Right now the lighter arrows are around 75 grains lighter than the hunting shafts will be. I'm not a pro shooter.  While I would like to score well at the 3D shoot will my shooting the lighter target shafts have a negative impact on my success this fall when I switch to the hunting weight shafts?
What do you folks think.  Pictures are on the way I promise! Including some photos of a great home made paper tuning stand.
