No, not the 40 ounce but my 40 yard pin.

I have been having some problems lately with shooting. I tend to pull away right after the shot and not follow through. For me, following through is easier said than done.

Well boys and girls, I got it down today. I was at the range and was gonna call it quits but wanted to get one more round in. They have a poster deer target at 40 yards facing at a slight angle. There is a 1" dot on his kill zone. I draw back, concentrate, squeeze, shoot, follow thru, and smiled b/c my arrow was very near the dot. I could hear the next two arrows smack and the last was only off 2". My next goal is to do this at 50 yards.

I always thought I was concentrating while shooting but obviously not enough. Just wanted to share.

I thought you were working on your 40 yard sprint times. Like you were going to chase after the deer.

Just kiddin'

Congrats there duc. Wish I could say the same for myself.

Finch

Hey bud...long time. Are you all settled in the new place yet?

Get rid of that Trykon and you will succeed as well.

Bols

I can't believe I wasted my 300 post on you.



Yeah, I'm settled. When are you coming to visit?

DaveC

Congrats on the fotey.

Finch

Wasted???

I don't know. My job is sending me to Ohio for 5 days in October. Actually, right after bow season opens.[:@]I'll be in the company's whip so I don't think I'll be able to swing by. I'll get out that way sometime though.


Thanks Dave. I'm sure you got yours ready to go, huh?

DaveC

All I need is to touch up my fixed blades and replace the target blades withsharp ones and I'm good to go.

I know I should practice more often but this Tribute has made daily shooting sorta boring, as long as I do my part it is ON- no challenge in my backyards 30 yard range anyways. (that is all myback yard will allow)

I did go over to a buddies house to practice at 40& 50.

The 40's were looking good so I marked my slider for 40 on the Tribute and set a pin on my Pats extreme sight.

Then on to the 50's.Itstarted outgood, then faded then good again.
I realized 50's weren't for me unlessI could practice at 50 daily.

SO I stepped back up to 40 and smiled again.

I usually try to set my stands & pick tree's that will only allow for a 30yds shot max. Sometimes it winds up being 35ish, but I know anything within view could be had (Lord willing).

Good luck to ya!

Finch

I hear ya Dave.

I practice at these yardages just for self-enjoyment. The woods I hunt would probablynot allow a 40 yard shot. I would be sort of nervous at taking a 40 yard shot w/out a range finder or knowing that its a true 40 yard shot anyways.

Good luck to you too bud!
