Lets hop in the wayback machine and go back a couple weeks. 2nd week of August, I was shooting better than I think I ever have. Felt like I couldn't miss.
Did a competition that 2nd weekend and had 2 bad misses. B-A-D misses. Whiffed a ram and a deer at 30 and 35 respectively. It was raining, weighted pack, I had just run a couple miles and climbed almost 1000 feet I missed. Excuses. I do not think these are entirely why I missed the entire target. Missing a 10, maybe. The whole ass target? Nah.
The first miss, I THINK that I shot the bow with the arrow off the drop away fork and between the riser and the fork. The vanes were torn, the nock busted and the rest blade is still broken. I just got a new one in the mail. The second miss chocks up to sheer user error.
Since then, I just can't get my shot back. My mental sequence hasn't changed, but I can't hit $4!t. Did R100 this past weekend and wound up having to add between 5 and 8 yards to the ranges just to hit inserts. Left 3 on the course and, while I'm no pro, I don't miss like that.
Is there something I could have done by shooting my bow that way?
Bow is headed to the shop after work today.
