    Yep....one group of 3 arrows in basement at 9yds. Focus on form. Then hung the bow up. Try to do at least that daily.

    I shot in a tournament Sunday after injuring a muscle in my back last week at work. Didn't do as well as I'd have liked so I'm laying off for a few days. Up until then I was shooting daily.

    Yes. I had to sight in my HHA sight I recently installed. Took me less than 20 mins. I set it up using 20/40. After it was dialed in, I shot 3 groups at 20 and 40 yards. 20 yards Grade - A. 40 yards Grade - B+ I added the Blue Burst light to it as well.

    Got a new release so I fired a couple even though I have a nasty cold. Gave my Scott Little Bitty Goose to my wife and picked up a Scott Wolverine.

    I did shoot a few rounds tonight. I was just right of the money at 20. I haven't shot for awhile, so 30 was a little off.

    I did a lot of 50 yard practice yesterday. It convinced me I want a slightly longer bow. I am going to look at an Experience today that I found for sale locally.

    I shot the first 3D course that I've shot in at least 15 years today with my 12 year old son. We had a blast. I don't know how many times I heard "That was a lot of fun". And he out shot me so I'm still hearing about that. Jokingly I told him next time I shoot at your stake or you shoot at mine!

    Shot out to 40 today and it felt great! 40yd Grouping looked like my 20yd. I keep forgetting to snap pics. I'll do that tomorrow out at 50-60yd.

    Some good looking groups going on here guys! Keep it up!

    I've been working on getting my new to me Experience dialed in so I have been shooting mostly at 20 yards lately.

    IBO between the Experience and my Assassin is very close (335 vs 333). But going from 62 to 70 is a much bigger difference than I expected. The Experience draws smoother so it doesn't feel much heavier but there is a big difference upon release lol.

    Yep. I made the mistake of shooting groups while sighting in my "new" bow.
