For those of you shooting with so much wind are you canting into the wind or holding off?

I hold off for wind. Only way I know to do it.For those of you shooting with so much wind are you canting into the wind or holding off?

Hey man, welcome to the CBC
two things- this is on the wrong thread.
and that MER seems a little close! You need to tell us what your vital size is. And if was that lower circle, you're definitely too close. If it was center of target, then maybe you're right on the MER.
Don't wanna hassle you, but you gotta push yourself on this
Let us know your thoughts

yes, go ahead and copy it over to the correct thread, then put a note in there that you're gonna restart the challenge tomorrow for your five arrows with a new MER. At least go 35. I understand you're a whitetail hunter, and we do take that into account.I can push it out to 40. I typically hunt whitetail and haven't ever shot one past 30. I'll make it more challenging. Thanks for the heads up on the wrong thread haha! I'll repost this with the caveat of pushing it to 40 for the next 5 shots and start over if that works.
hey man, that's very common what you're experiencing. Most call it Target Panic or TP. I'm sure some guys on here can point you to some resources to work on that. The way I understand it, it doesn't fix itself.Guys - I just can't help but punch the trigger, wind or no wind - probably why my last two shots have been poor - man, I need to get better I try to circle the pin around the spot and release but my mind is screaming "now!!!" anytime the pin passes over the aiming point. On a side note, it's pretty awesome that Randy Ulmer is doing this challenge! I have read tons of his articles and loved them all

I think it was Dudley that had mentioned instead of holding off you can put your pin on the target and cant your top limb into the wind so far depending on the wind havent been able to get accurate with this method myself but it is very interesting how much of a difference canting your bow even a little can make on your POIWhat do you mean canting into the wind? I typically hold off. Open to new methods but hadn't heard of that one.
Winning! Lmao sorry that's funny!I'd like to know who else has managed to bust an Exodus in a target? I mean am I special or what?

That's just how bad I f'ed up my shot today.

Haha must be!It's for the comments about the radio flyer.
Is that a GD full rut? I'm using what's left of my insert as my vitals but I have definitely hit some hard spots in the past on that target. Some were in odd spots...I'd like to know who else has managed to bust an Exodus in a target? I mean am I special or what?

Either their is something in the top of the target or it went through some of the roofing that's in the air around here.
How will we know if we qualify will one of you let us know we are good or that we need to reshoot once you go over our shots?
