    I'm Stumped?

    Many adjustments later! I haven’t shot through paper but these are 2 different fixed blades matched to field points at 20 yards. Will need to find a place to shoot 30 &40 .

    I'm Stumped?

    Yeah for sure .... well I picked up a wrist index style today got peep all tied in and went to shoot and I'm finding myself not being able to use trigger without some sort of wrist/hand rotation. ive lengthened and shortened several times. shortening helps a little but throws everything off and...

    I'm Stumped?

    Im beginning to think my release is the culprit for the inconsistencies I'm having at the moment! I find sometimes I need to reach with my index finger and that in turn 1 changes peep alignment and 2 torques the string. I have a thumb release that I hate! punched myself too many times drawing...

    I'm Stumped?

    yeah im still struggling but feel as though I might be doing something.? Ive never owned a short ATA bow like this but I'm constantly looking at form > im at a point where at 20 my bareshaft arrow hits with fletched and usually entering target straight. I can still see it kicking which gives me...

    I'm Stumped?

    well after hours of moving stuff and shooting paper with crazy results I was close. I gave up on paper and landed on a center shot at 3/4" cams moved around until I was at 20 yards bare shaft hitting target straight and 1" left of fletched arrow. almost looks like the fletched are kicking...

    I'm Stumped?

    I'll check it out. I had a serving knot under knocking point under arrow and removed it when I decided to raise my knock point. I think I need to lower rest as I still have a tiny low tear with bare shaft so maybe I just raise knock the serving knot and that might take care of that?but I was...

    I'm Stumped?

    Ive never had this bow at a shop. no shops near me. I can micro adjust for sure but wouldn't that adjustment make it kick worse? Ive read somewhere that common with these bows center shot at 13/16 then move cams accordingly and the arrow will be pointing left away from riser when shooting bullet...

    I'm Stumped?

    ive been using the same release for the last 18 years. ive tried a couple others over the years and just can't seem to get solid anchor points. and changing releases feels like a draw length change

    I'm Stumped?

    shot paper and had knock right tear with fletched and knock right and a little low with bare shaft so I moved dead lock cam shooting and got a point of small low tear with fletched arrow but same right tear as the first shot before adjustments.

    I'm Stumped?

    yeah its still kicking.. center shot is at 13/16 I believe maybe 3/4 arrows are knock vane up on the "spine align" mark and same position for bare shaft. I originally had 350 arrows per Victory website calculator but everything was worse so picked up 300s and everything seems a little...

    Struggle Stick

    I will second on Tom. I Bought my longbow from him long time ago! he had me just shoot every bow in my price range and basically gave me lessons the entire time as I had never shot one. I don't hunt with it anymore but he got me dialed in that first year and haven't needed to change a thing...

    Bow tuning issues.

    good deal.. ive been moving rest and cams a lot and keep getting a tear, ive come to grips with it being me. I have 2 torn shoulders so I can shoot enough to work it out so I've decided to go with max of 30 yards. after taking 15 bulls not one of them was outside of 30 anyway

    Bow tuning issues.

    Id try a 250 arrow personally. assuming moving the rest didn't help? it was mentioned earlier to do that. have you tried moving the rest? I'm actually having the same problem but with a Bowtech solution SS and I'm beginning to think its me as its a new bow for me and a shorter ATA than ive ever...

    Your standards?

    I agree with it all should be automatic! yeah I sold my 2 obsession bows as I have 2 torn shoulders and picked up a 60# Bowtech solution SS because I could pull it back easily where my obsessions at 60# I couldn't pull back at all. So I'm relearning everything it feels. this is much shorter ATA...

    Your standards?

    Ive been limited on shooting distances for practice. currently 20yards is the longest shot I can take without traveling to BLM and setting up. honestly over the years ive never really had bull fever. I mean I get juiced a little but hey. once the arrows gone though adrenaline flows! out of about...

    Williams Precision Fiber Optic Globe - Fitment Issues?

    I got to a point where I was comfortable enough with my 100 group in order to go hunt, but also not satisfied with the set up. if I get a chance to Muzzy hunt again I'll likely change set up or just remount differently? I might even go back to rear peep and fiber optic front and see hoe I shoot...

    Past 50?

    15 Bulls taken with a bow. 3 of them with long bow. Furthest shot was 35. all others 20 and in. Ive felt that id be good to 60 in the right situation. I do feel so much can happen once the arrow takes flight especially when calling them in. Ive had multiple bulls duck and whirl inside 20 and...

    Past 50?

    Ive gone to a custom order Black gold 3 pin slider. good out to 50 with a higher speed bow so first pin is 20/30. then if I were ever in a situation with a calm bull I haven't called to I could dial it out further. but now I need a new bow for 2 blown shoulders and will only shoot inside 40.

    Williams Precision Fiber Optic Globe - Fitment Issues?

    I bought front and rear. I lock tightened the screw and doesn't seem to move at all when I try like hell. I might take it all apart and reship now that season is over? hopefully I can just go back to archery after a year off? but it needs to be remedied regardless.

    First Muzzle Loading hunt help

    Thanks for all the advice! unfortunately I didn't get a chance to test out the bullet. worst use of 8 points and I've had better hunting in OTC units? beautiful country though. I'm guessing a combination of Full moon and overly aggressive hunters?

    Williams Precision Fiber Optic Globe - Fitment Issues?

    I had similar problems. Williams didn't help or respond. My sight came with plenty of screws none of which fit my Traditions Pursuit. I paid to have the sight mounted and the gunsmith drilled new hole for front sight. come to find out I was shooting 4" high with the rear maxed out so I had to...

    Too early for the rut?

    You really just never know? A couple years ago open day archery I had a herd of 30 cows with 5 bulls hanging around below me at 150 yards and at 1 in the afternoon in 90 degrees a cow went into full estrous whine and all the bulls came a running.

    Just the one I posted from my buddies moose! Also I just got a hold of some of those BOR locs and they shot pretty good! A little more noticeable kick. I had one jam while loading. Is this common or do they need a pretty clean barrel? I’d had about10 shots with powerbelts and 2 borlocs prior...

    First archery elk hunt...

    Personally I don't ever want to be guided. I want the success to be my accomplishment. I understand why others do it but I'm not interested. out of about 15 bulls harvested I called 3 in by myself. one I shot with longbow at 10 yards the others at 20 yards compound. while Ive only hunted solo a...

    Broadside double lung. the only shot I'm likely to take as well. the hardened lead info is in the the literature that comes with the bullets. Ill be using these unless I can get my hands on something else that shoots more accurately. I haven't been able to locate BOR Loc . seems to be out of...

    thanks I plan on shooting quite a bit once I get this sight installed... screws are all wrong size for front sight and dove tail for elevation is stuck at the moment. and Im gonna try out to 200 but like archery I'm more realistic with 100 and in. but curious to see what happens at 150 and 200...
