I FINALLY started shooting my bow today. I walked outside and took 2 shots at 30 yards, made a slight adjustment, and came back inside. Tomorrow ill verify that and shoot at 20. At this rate I might shoot 10 arrows before October 1st  Both were an inch low. I seem to remember leaving it that way last year, but I dont remember why. |

Mostly just to get a feel for the trigger. I do like to take my target to my food plot and shoot from my stand. From what I've seen, you might be dead on from an elevated position. |

With compound bows, you dont need to adjust your poa/poi to shoot from an elevated position, IF you remember to bend at your waist instead of dropping your arms. |

I use a crossbow. However it works, I'll make final adjustments from my stand. I don't see how you do it and not practice with a compound bow; you're probably just a natural. I would never practice enough to point one at a live animal. |

I would prefer to practice more, but time has been an issue lately. Im pretty confident inside 40 yards, if I were one of those guys on tv that takes 60 yard shots, I would be finding time.

I ordered a half dozen new arrows last night from the local archery shop.. I was down to four good arrows for hunting and only one for practicing. I will use these 5 for practicing and the new ones for hunting. It's the same carbon arrow so nothing to change. I did change to bright hot pink fletching.
