new Parker bow. draw length adjustment
Hi All,
i just got my new bow, a parker wildfire xp bow, bought from huntersfriend. i was asking for DL29 and DW 50.
i am using tru fire mechanical release.
after my bow sitting for 2 days without me able to full drawn the string, i thought was too heavy for me, its only 50# how hard it can be.
so i read hundreds of pages of internet for shooting form, how to draw and anything that related to bowhunting.
i cannot get somebody to teach me how, because i am in indonesia that i might be one of the very small numbers of people using such a compound bow, nor there is any proshop here.
so then today its the day i am able to fulldrawn my bow, on finger direct to the string, its easy and not as heavy as was using tru-fire release aid. i managed to get my first shot bulls eye - or just a lucky shots out of 20yds today.
i am thinking that the bow was set to too long DL, so because of that i am having trouble pulling it. so i measure the difference gap of release aid and finger, its about 2 - 2.5 inches.
is the 2 inches difference makes that such a big pulling weight?
if i had to change the cam module, that will be something i have to figure out how - to get the press and etc, if i had to send back to parker or huntersfriend thats gonna be pricey and impossible at the moment, when i receive the bow, it cost US$112 for shipping and another $200+ for custom tax
- i can buy another bow for that price.
any advice are much appreciate,
