    Second time ever shooting at 50 yards. Not the best groups, but I'm hoping to make improvements. Last one on the bottom, I gave up a little.

    I'm loving this new bow. After practicing for a half hour, I went for a walk on a 54 arrow course with shots anywhere from 15 ft to 80 yards and did pretty well. I'm gonna do that a few more times before this weekend and hopefully be ready to go this weekend.

    I'm hoping that getting a sight with some smaller pins will help out too. I'm almost sure that I've got .029s now after seeing how small the .010 pins were comparatively.

    Hey , that's a nice group at 50 , for just your second time shooting that far. Great Job !

    I've found that practicing at 50 and 60 a little more will dramatically improve your grouping. Not only at 50 and 60 , but close ranges too.

    I'm fixing to try the different pin sizes also. I already know that I absolutely hate .029" all together ... Not even at 20yds. I like a .019" pin , but I'm fixing to try to use .019" for 20, 30, and 40 , and go to a .010" pin for 50 and 60. I've never shot the .010" pins before , so I hope it's not a disaster.

    Nice work! Seems like I get those stragglers ever now and then as well.

    I have been shooting out to 50 and 60 yards alot and now shooting 30 or 40 is a walk in the park. Gives you some convidence and I think it makes your form better.

    I would say that is pretty good shooting. I tried 70 yards last week and lost two arrows!!!!!!!! After that i was on target, well worth it of course!
