    Thats good to hear mate.

    Yeah it's a little different holding back all the weight but with a little work and muscle building it will get easier.:deer:

    When you do start shooting don't over do it when you get tired quit for a while and make sure you give your muscles time to recover after each shot.

    Dave.

    Are they arrow holes or have ya been paterning a shot gun:d

    BTW straighten up some get your head over the balls of your feet, it will be a lot more comfortable to shoot.

    Ok ... after Russ's humourous comment about shotgun grouping :confused: , i switched on the floodlight and tried again with straightened back . Yep i felt more comfortable and i don't know if it was a fluke group , but i was impressed :deer: .

    Dave.

    Good shooting the second time around.:d

    Your shooting is going to improve in leaps and bounds as you get your form and release down.

    For now just work on your form and release, when you have them down then start the fine tuning of the bow.

    Guys.

    Thanks again for the kind words about the bow.

    Cool Dave, thats the best part about cutting your own, you can trim em' anyway you want and if you screw em' up, no biggie, cut up another one!

    At the moment i think i am trying to learn everything all at once :bash: , i need to step back and concentrate on one thing at a time . If i look at a blank bale , i zoom in on a tiny spot without thinkin about it , instead of practicing form , stance , release and so on . If i don't get near the spot i think i'm doing crap , i'm not sure what to look at first . Tomorrow i will have a clearer head and can concentrate on one specific detail at a time , will keep you posted . ( by the way , i love shooting her whatever the result ) :d
