Well, since I had the DL lengthened so the bow actually fits me and since I got the sights re-dialed in I went a head and shortened up my release a bit. Just a 1/4" but it has seemed to make a world of difference. I've got my anchor point nailed down, started keeping both eyes open(same way I shoot a handgun) and I actually hit a 6" bull 2 out of 3 shots at 40 yrds today while I was out practicing. The "flyer" was to the left about 8" but was still the proper ok elevation wise so it would have probably been a kill shot all be it not a perfect one.
I've got all summer to work on getting dialed in so I think I'll be ready by Sept. bow season.
I'd really like to get together with some of ya'll in the Crossville area so we can shoot a bit, maybe help me tweak my form and bow a bit more and just get to know some of the other local bow hunters.
Anyway, I'll talk to ya'll later. Have a good one.
 
Sounds like a good deal. 40 yds is a poke!! I'd love to shoot with you , but I'm in knoxvegas. So what are you gonna do with your recurve(s). I've been looking to get one if the price is right. If you want to sell let me know.

PM me if interested.
 
I sold the longbow quite a while ago and the recurve about a 2 years ago. I came down with a Vitamin D deficiency that made me ache all over, felt real bad like arthritis only it made the muscles hurt too. at that time I had to give up playing bass guitar because my hands cramped up too much and I gave up shooting my bow so I sold it to a buddy in AL.
Now that I'm feeling better(only took the doctors a year to figure out what was wrong,LOL) I'm back to shooting again and lovin' it.
I've got a little range set up in the back yard, took my tape measure and measured off 10/20/30 and 40 yrds so I'll know the distance that I'm shooting at. If you're ever going to be in Crossville shoot me a PM and I get you my cell# so we can meet up and do some shooting. Talk to ya' later.
