What did you do today to get ready for archery season?

[Marble]

Today I started putting lacquer on a 4 piece, 5 weight fly rod to carry during scouting this year in Wyoming and maybe some fishing in CO during TAC.

Shot indoors yesterday for the first time. Worked out in the morning and shot a bunch in the afternoon. 30-40 arrows. Went very well and my 50 yard pin is on. Shooting great at 40.

In talking with the shop guy figured out that my sight has 3rd axis adjustment. I now need to learn what that means and figure out how to set it.

Archery is not simple.

There was a guy there with a Ravin crossbow. What an annoying piece of tool. The guy, not the crossbow. Holy cats people make their lives hard.

Still at 30 yards, best 4 shot group, but only three in the target kinda sucks. I don't know whether to celebrate the luck or cry cause its at least one more ruined arrow...

Gotta aim at different spots or its gets pricey

That was never a problem for me before, lol!

Definitely adding new aiming points now.

I usually only ruin fletchings but that gets annoying too

Yep, no groups for me, single arrows at different dots.

Four mile hike over rough terrain.

On the board for the season!

Griv goes over it here, I haven't watched his video on it actually but he normally does a good job with stuff. Really should be done at full draw.


Lots of videos on YouTube for it. Hamskea makes a good tool for it.


I didn't do anything preparing, except work. Which I guess is actually preparing. Money needs to come from somewhere.

Hired a professional coach to break down my form and give me things to work on this summer.

Cool looking pup.

Thanks. I'm afraid he is not going to be a dog that finds sheds, great company while looking for them though. He walked right over both of those. LOL

Bought a new target, another dozen shafts, more fletching. And shot about 30 arrows.

Shooting 3D, getting ready for league, back yard practice, blind baling, adjusting tapes. 3D should start in the next few weeks where I'll have 1-3 shoots a week until August.

Scheduled an MRI to see if shoulder will need surgery. Built half a dozen arrows for the girlfriend. Started looking for #40 Black 5 limbs.

Bought some vanes and feathers, new set of limbs...cash flowing.

Ugh....been there. Hope it goes well. I ended up getting my wife some 40# limbs for my halon 32 before I had the surgery. It made a great rehab bow.

Bummer. Hope it all works out for you.

PT my shoulder. Had surgery 2 days ago for a slap tear. Surgeon assured me I will be shooting again in a few weeks. Feels good so far!

A few weeks? They just cut the bicep tendon?
