    Retied peep last night and everthing was just a little off. Shot gobs off arrows after lunch at 20-70. At 5:00 shot 2 sets of 2 arrows at each distance to double check sight in. All systems go!

    New peep installed, 100 grain points on and a couple hours at the range. Shot real good. I didn't expect the weight to be that much, but I was WAY high all night. I'll break the box out and dial her in at the house.

    Noticed a slight wobble shooting in the wind. Re paper tuned today. Rest needed slight vertical adjustment. Started tearing felt on QAD. Bumfuzzled even after a 5 or 6 more shots till stupid me realized I hadn't adjusted timing cord. Timing cord adjusted and now perfect holes. Felt now looks like mulch. Checked sight sight and after small sight adjustment good to go out to 50. Counting paper tune maybe 30 shots. I had enough for one day.

    Shot today with a buddy at 20, 30,40 and fifty yards, and everything in between. Shot for about 2 and a half hours and we both did real well. No pics, sorry just happy with my groups at all ranges. Maybe not 50yds just dont think I would shoot at a whitetail at that range, Grommel.

    I shot some today for the first time since last archery season.
    Shot with my practice broadheads (I never use field points). I made the mistake of trying one group and ruined the fletching on two arrows on the first set of six shots at thirty yards. After a facepalm I stepped back at 40 and as I was kicking myself for doing something stupid I placed all six arrows on or within an inch of each center target on the broadhead side of the block. One was a little high left.

    I shot another set at forty and quit. Felt good to get the bow out and shoot a bit.(except the two cut off fletchings...)

    Shot at 20, 30, and 40. First time stretching out the distance sense I upped the poundage, so I was doing some minor adjustments. Overall I shot great. Did realize that i would like to have smaller pins when I am shooting out to that distance though. Overall I would say A-. Also was using the new rangefinder while I was out there which was great. No more guessing or pacing off distances. Shout out to SpotNStalk.

    Shot 18 arrows at blank target working on form, then shot several dozen at 20 yards. Did ok, keeping within 1" of the dot. Trying to find a range where I can shoot longer distances. Also got the opportunity to chrono my bow, shooting as shown below.

    Shot a lot of arrows from 20 yards out to 60. Was consistently grouping low right not horrible but a noticeable trend. Need to shoot broad heads tomorrow to see how they do.
