So at 54 years old, my 78 pound bow has finally whipped my butt. I now have tendinitis in my arm. Guess I’m not getting younger.
I went ahead and put 70 pound limbs on and backed it down to sixty, built new arrows and sighted in today.
I can’t say how much I love shooting it at this weight. But my brain keeps trying to creep in with the “gotta at least get back to 70” stuff.
Anyone else fight these ridiculous mind games? I know 60 is plenty, especially since I refuse to shoot past 50 even at 78. I keep reminding myself that trad guys do it with much less and elk are put down with 40 on the regular.
I feel I’m already more accurate at 60 than I was and holding it back, it’s amazing how long it just sits there.
Accuracy is king……… right?
