RE: Lost my release........week before my big hunt !!
Well guys...............did some shooting with the little goose tonight !!
My first group of 3 arrows was huge.........lost one arrow and had 2 about 4" apart !! That was at 50 yrds ...........and man I have been smacking those (2-3"groups) !!![&o]
Made a few adjustments .........calmed down and shot some more ..........groups ranged from 3 1/4 " - 5" at 50 yrds !!
Went out to 70 yrds and shot some 6-7" groups !! Was shooting 4.5" - 6" before !! I had a flyer though.........and changed from a 125 grain tip to a 100 and brought it in...........I knew it spun good !! Didn't shoot much after that !
Up in the air on this..............definately not my normal shooting .........but not terrible !! I am going through a l emotional crisis ...........losing my 7 year old release..........getting a new one..........losing an arrow........pissed off......stressed..........confidence busted..........ya know !!
I'll have to get back at it later...............now it sounds like we may come back from Atlanta late Sat. ............giving me all day Sunday !! If things don't work out then ..........I'll get Cabelas to overnight me a Mongoose Monday !!
Thanks for the advice and for listening !! My wife sure doesn't understand it !!! [
