    Can you learn correct Grip from Paper tune?

    So I'm shooting a "perfect" spine according to the software. When I set center shot I get a left tear with bare shaft at 10'. So I started moving the rest to the right to correct the tear but then my center shot was way off to the right....I then thought about hand torque. I set center shot...

    3'x3' outdoor target recommendations?

    So I'm tired of buying a $125 block target and blowing out the center in a year! I want to invest in a larger target. Partly for my Long distance practice but also because I could have several aiming points in a large target....hence making it last 4x as long. i was looking at big shot...

    Have a tommy hogg 5 pin slider with a hogg wrap and .10 pins. I shoot both eyes open and love the precision of the .10 pins but age is catching up to me. The fiber optic pin is tiny and has become a little blurry when focusing on the target and not the pins. Switched to .19 pins and I can see...

    Improved shooting with both eyes open

    So I just realized why my shooting has improved when shooting both eyes open. When I shot with one eye closed I would bring the pin on target and begin my pull.....but then I would subconsciously let the pin drift back off the target so I could see it again and then put the pin back on it. This...

    Waxing string around cam?

    So I have always waxed the " entire" string. I waxed the string around the cams by putting my foot on the handle and pulling the bow to full draw. I then waxed the string around the cams. Somebody told me not to wax the string around the cams because it will make the serving separate? What is...
