    Inconsistency day to day

    I watched a video by someone the other day and I can’t recall who. It might have been John Dudley. It was talking about how long distance shooting uses big targets for the longer distances for a reason. He talked about how if you tried to shoot a smaller target at distance it would play games...

    Inconsistency day to day

    Interesting. I put my archery equipment up about 11 years ago and found a different hobby. My adult son told me a year and a half ago that he was wanting to get into bowhunting and he wanted me to do it with him and teach him as I have been shooting since the early 80s. all through school he...

    Inconsistency day to day

    I like all this advice. One thing I struggle with is letting down and I know I need to work on that. For example, I’ll be shooting on a windy day where the wind comes and goes. I’ll get a few shots off then I will draw back and all of a sudden, the wind will pick up and it will start blowing me...

    Inconsistency day to day

    Yes it is trying to figure out how to deal with it. I typically tell myself when this happens to put it up for a while but I can never make myself do it. So I lack discipline listening to myself as well. My mind says do it and my body says up yours I’m going to keep shooting and keep making...

    Inconsistency day to day

    I blamed it on morning coffee once but I can sometimes have issues after work. And I don’t drink pop. I think it has to do with concentration and how much other stuff I got going on in my head

    I get it. Maybe I need more discipline. I just get so frustrated how I can shoot so good and the next day shoot like I’m on crack lol.

    Inconsistency day to day

    it doesn’t matter whether I’m using back tension or command. I am a pretty good shot. I’ve been placing well at local shoots this year. My trouble is I have a great release and follow through one day and the next I’m suffering from panic. The panic is not a regular thing but some days I can’t...

    How long do strings last

    This ^^^^ I shoot every day and sometimes in the morning and afternoon. I’ve been using customs from Catfish Customs and they are excellent strings but with the miles I put on I’m replacing them once a year. If you figure I shoot 50-100 shots a day times 6-7 days a week you can do the math. If...

    Mathews Lift

    My son got one. He loves it. He’s a newbie though so he doesn’t have any experience with anything else to compare it to. But he likes it and has had no issues with it. I’m one who thinks it’s too ugly for me. But that’s just an opinion. It sure is quiet when he shoots and pretty fast too. I just...

    Have you ever had the YIPS

    You described me throughout the majority of my archery and bow hunting career, lol which spans back to the early 80s with some time off scattered throughout those years. Since I picked my bow back up a year and a half ago and started again I’ve been shooting like mad. I’ve worn custom strings...

    Have you ever had the YIPS

    I get what you were saying. So basically if you shoot a lot and you start having issues like that then taking a break for a day or so might refresh you. I know I shoot bad at times like when setting up a new bow or a bow after new strings are installed. I get so invested mentally in setting...

    Have you ever had the YIPS

    This interesting. I believe sometimes taking a break is good. But what’s a definition of too much shooting? Every day? A certain arrow count per day? I like to shoot daily but have taken breaks at times. Example got home one night last week and just didn’t feel like getting my bow out so I...

    Have you ever had the YIPS

    Yeah, you should be having fun or it’s not worth doing on the other hand when you’re having success it becomes more fun. I picked my bow up out of my case on my bedroom floor in October 2022 for the first time in about 10 years. I have shot the snot out of all of my bows in the last Year and a...

    I may have trashed my bow today!

    Never had a d loop break…..knock on wood…..but over 20 years ago I was at an indoor shoot and my cheap ass Cobra wrist release decided to identify as a grenade at half draw and my arrow went sailing into the concrete wall, pieces of the trans grenade were scattered all over the floor, and you...

    Draw Length Opinions Please

    Biggest thing you can do for shoulder pain not related to drawing motion is learn to relax your shoulders at full draw. Draw bow back and once drawn let both shoulders drop down. You’ll be able to feel the difference immediately and your aim will steady as well. Can’t tell if your draw length is...

    Have you ever had the YIPS

    Sometimes I need to put the bow down and go get my mind off things and pick it back up an hour or two later. Or maybe later in the day. Today I was killing it and a passerby stopped to talk as I was nocking another arrow. He wouldn’t shut up so I tried to get rid of him and drew back. He stood...

    Pulling through on an index

    Since I’ve posted this I set my trigger back to hair and started shooting this way again. Controlled command style and my groups actually got better lol. Good to experiment for sure
