    Changed it up a little Friday. Took the Vegas round outside. I wasn't happy with my score but, I know where I was going wrong. Shot a 292 with only 6X's. I tried not to let the slight breezes affect me as I shot between them. So I can't even blame that.

    I've been shooting the past few days in the basement. the new bow is motivating me to shoot! Hitting dimes size pieces of tape at ten yards consistently, feels good to be shooting

    Did you shoot today?
    YES
    Did you shoot well?
    DEPENDS
    How many Arrows?
    30
    Elevated or Flat?
    FLAT

    I'm practicing back tension. I've resisted learning for over a decade, mainly because of a poor first experience (needed some paper towels for those who know what i mean)

    I'm in my 3rd week, and may need to shorten my draw length. I dunno.

    It's getting frustrating, but I keep telling myself that it'll be worth knowing.

    I'll give it 3 more weeks, and if I don't see myself improving, I'm gonna give it a break before I start hating archery lol

    adjusted the DL on my DNA, amazing what a half an inch does!!!

    2 sets of 5 arrows @50 yards

    2 sets of 5 @40 yards

    2 sets of 5 @30 yards

    1 arrow @ 20 yards

    really loving the dna now that it's tuned and adjusted to me!

    No shooting for me last weekend or this weekend. Last weekend I was busy with the new puppy and putting up the kids new swing set. This weekend I'm rebuilding the website for my hone owners association and raffling off a nice 300 Winchester for my youth groups raffle.

    Shot 20 arrows today, elevated @ 15 feet.

    10 @ 35 yards

    9 @ 25 yards

    1 @ 10 yards
    now that my bow is dialed in, its elevated shots only for me, no more from on the ground.
