I'll have to wait until morning to get some serious shooting in. I have a lighted range, but its only about 15 yards, and I'd like to see how I'm doing at longer ranges. It does feel alot better than the hoyt, It feels like I can stretch out and relax now.

You look more relaxed and that alone should equate to better shooting.

Was the draw maxed out on the Hoyt?

yes, it was. Including let off, and a 3/4" loop.

I don't like the feel of the cam 1/2 maxed out,I like it 1/2' to 1" off of maxed out.Very aggresive when setmaxed out.You will like this new setup better imo.

Watch that trigger finger! Keep it behind the trigger when you don't have the bow pointed at a target. That sliding glass door would be expensive to replace! Better safe than sorry!

Maybe just a hair too long as the arrow nock is slightly behind your eye (vertically), but the rest of your body looks to be in decent alignment. I think I'd go with what you have for a while to let your mind and body adjust to the new length. Possibly shorten up a tad later on and see if your aim is more solid.

TFOX has you going in the right direction.
