    I figured it out. I went to the range and the guy told me I punch the trigger. I stopped punching a few times and at 15 there was an inch between arrows

    get a Mathews and put the pin on where you want to hit and there you go me and my friend shot 5 arrows each from 20 yards and we could connect our thumb and you pointy finger around the arrows

    First off, good honest initial question. If you can get 9 out of 10 in at 20 yds I'd say your good to go, especially if you are shooting 20 and under. I went back to the basics this year and realized I had lost my back tension and was arm pulling. That cost me on two deer last year when I used poor arm tension and dropped my bow upon release. I went back and retrained my back tension and not dropping my bow. Has made a huge difference for me.

    This is laughable, I now know why dumb commercials work. You know if everyone bought a mathews you would not be so special anymore.

    Example you don't need to be a brett farve in deer hunting shooting deep at 40yards and over. A Tom Brady will do close and mid at 25 yards.
