Well boys, ive been shooting as much as i can lately. Between my knee still recovering from surgery and it bothering me a bunch at times it hasn't been as much as id like. Ive still gotten pretty decent at 10-12 yards with my 40# Sage bow though. I can hold a 2-4 inch group most times with a few flyers at times but still on the target. So this morning i got brave and moved the target back to 18 yards. It took a little getting used to but after 3 rounds of 6 arrows i started grouping and hitting pretty close to what i am looking at again. I finished up with my last two rounds with four arrows around my center spot holding a 2" group and the other two arrows a high and low shot. Those shots just felt bad at release.

Anyways, what i found the last few times ive shot is i was being inconsistent with my anchor so i starting paying close attention to that. I also read that when shooting 3 under to much bottom finger pressure can add to the inconsistency. I paid close attention to that also. After just a few shot i realized a was almost using the bottom finger only. So i work on distributing the pressure on all 3 finger with a little more on the top and bam!! Consistency almost immediately. I was amazed how well i started grouping. Since then i have gotten better and started to actually anchor with my index finger at the corner of my mouth and even finger pressure with really happy results so far.
I cant wait to build up my muscle memory enough so i can shoot my 51# Sarrels Blueridge S/R with consistency. That bow is a beauty!!
Well back to more practice practice practice!!! Will post pics when allowed.
Thanks,
Ray
