    Shot a few more rounds in the AM & PM today.
    72 yards and 50 yards.
    Overall good but really slacking on form and paying for it.
    Results----> one broken arrow, shot low and snapped.
    With the cold weather lately...it is tough to get out ^^^^^.

    Why do you shoot 72 yards? Not 70....not 75, just curious.

    Well, it is a spot I put the bow stand. I will go with different places in the lane. Some days 20, others elevated 18' at 27 yards, back around 45 on my knees, then 55 elevated at 14', 80 if I put my elbow on the wall, but 70 is my favorite spot. There is no set spot really, things change to much in the field. At some point I will like to shoot severe angles between 15 & 80.

    Right On! Now that is a Great group.
    I flat wore myself out this morning and shot more tonight. Not grouping like that but more than satisfied with the rig.

    I need a day off...smiling here.

    I shot one arrow this evening. It went in about the middle of the ribs and came out the off shoulder and stuck in the ground!
    16 yards and 20 feet up.

    Shot Great this morning at 30 yards. Really happy, pushed back to 72 and hit better than yesterday. The blazers are getting ate up and a fletching jig will have to happen next spring.
    Shooting tonight.

    6 from 40 dead on golf ball group.
    5 from 60. Baseball group.
    5 from 80. 3 perfect hits and two about 6" out.
    Back to 40 5 shots. Terrible group. 2 perfect one about 10" off and two flinch shots about a foot off. It's been awhile since my last practice. Overall good but I hate those flinch shots.

    Had ta shoot tonight for a bit...suffering post hunt depression (not really) and needed to ensure sight, flight, form and everything else is right.
    2 Arrows
    72 yards
    Flat
    3 rounds
    Within 5" of intended target.

    I'm good with that, may shoot some tomorrow...need ice cream and a movie now.
