    I think I'm a 7 but everyone else thinks I'm a 10+... just goes to show you don't have to shoot good as long as you look good doing it!

    I dunno, 7 or 8 I guess. I don't get to terribly anal about it but I do make sure my rig is right before I hit the woods.

    I agree for the most part but sometimes even the best make a bow that just doesn't tune the way it should.

    Dunno...my one season of bow hunting, and all I am doing to learn have me climbing up.

    I gotta get a paper rack built and strip the fletching off some of my arrows...

    BUT, it hasn't always been like that has it Josh.;)

    I can still remember the first time I talked to Josh and then the first time he came by for some "help"

    He can't shoot a hotshot either.:bash:

    If I remember correctly,it was the model A you were trying to shoot that created a ton of problems.

    I used to be very anal to the point of obsession. Now I don't even waste my time. I practice with my broadheads on a regular basis. It really is over rated in my opinion.

    5, before I found you guys on the other site, and now this one I was a 2 or 3. We tuned, but it was a broadhead to fly with the filed point and if not resight and done tuning process. Matbe one day I will get there. I know I will need it to get to the next level shooting one day, but I shoot a fairly conservative set up as far as spine, weight etc, with a decent draw weight. I do not shoot past 35 yards, and no sever angles. My decisions in the field help make up for my lack of a perfect bow/arrow marriage in my opinion.
