Well let me start out by saying it was actually a very good hunt in that I saw alot of deer. I'll start this story back in April, I was reccomended a supposedly great archery shop, here in the North Texas area. So I went to see about getting a drop a way rest put on my bow, while I was there I was told I should replace my strings and cables, which I said ok. After getting home my shooting was less than desired, I was not grouping any where close to what I was before taking it there. So I took it back, then the guy there tells me I'm shooting the wrong draw lenght and that I will need to change my cam out to lenghten my draw, and by the way your gonna need longer arrows. Which I also buy, I take it home and still not shooting like I was before. So I take it back to him and at this point I can tell he is getting pretty annoyed with me, although I have pretty much spent enough money, that I could have bought a new bow. This guy tells me its me the shooter, that I'm the problem, he says it jokingly. But I know my shooting ability and I know I'm not the problem. On tuesday before my "HAG" hunt in seg.B I took it back over to have him look at it before I hunt he says everything looks fine. I'm shooting field tips at 20 yards but still not grouping them to my liking. Friday morning of my hunt I see three really nice shooter bucks in the 130 to 160 class, but they never present a shot for me. Saturday morning a 150 class 12 pt comes in he's at 20 yards quartering away I draw,aim, release and miss, my heart just sank. I start looking at my bow because I know somthings not right with my bow. I discover after closely looking at it that my string, arrow and sight pins don't line up. I try to adjust them the best I can. Sunday morning three does walk in, I decide I will try and punch my ticket for next year but again I miss. At this point I decided to get down and call a cousin of mine that lives in Gordonville Texas, he's very knowledgable on bows, I explain to him what has happened. He tells me to bring it by and he will take a look at it, within seconds of picking up my bow he tells me it looks like my arrow rest is 3 to 4 milimeters out of square. He gets a millimeter gage and sure enough its out 4 millimeters, he squares it up and has me shoot at 20 yards, I'm stacking arrows in a silver dollar group now. I go back for the afternoon hunt and don't see anything else my hunt is over.
I will never go back to this bow shop again they've got their last dime out of me!
