Ijust sold my Cobra Easy Slide sight with the HUGE .039 pins and bought a Tru-Site Extreme with five .019 pins. Those .039 pins covered up mostof the target at 30 yards. [8D]

How far back are you shooting? Looks good to me I can do that out to 30 yards but after that the group opens up a lot. They look like kills to me just shoot and have fun!

That group was shot from 30 yards.

ok, well I said unless you were shooting a 3d, so yeh, you will need to tighten up.

Was that group with the .039 pins or the .019? Large pins can definately have that effect.


You can play with the loop to adjust the draw length.Or twist the string but these adjustments require some slight retuning.I prefer playing with the loop.


BUT,I am leaning toward working on good solid back tension release.Regardless of whether or not you are using a true BT.

I just checked my centershot and it's perfect.

As far as my draw length goes, I haven't been able to adjust that.

I'm just assuming that it's just me punching the release.[>:]


I'm not trying to be a bugger here 8pt, so forgive if it may seem that way.... these are just a few friendly counter questions that might hopefully lead to you shooting even better. I'm the type of guy who is hardly ever satisfied, and I'm much much more picky about my hunting equipment than my target equipment (because for me... targets and even tournaments are just practice for hunting).

Here is the big ? for me:

How exactly did you check your center shot?

Thegroup pictured was shot with the .039 pins.

As far as the loop goes, I'll try playing withthat some more.

I'm also trying to work on a solid back tension release, but it's kind of hard to get used to and execute repeatedly.
