I'm getting dialed in
I've been shooting more and more the last few weeks, but I've been hitting consistently low and slightly left. Very frustrating. Last night I moved up to 10 yards to try work out the problems. After about 18 shots, I started moving my site a bit and finally worked into a very tight 6 shot group, right where I was aiming. I shot two groups that were about 1.5" at 10 yards. This was very satisfying because I was having a difficult time getting dialed in. I thought my new arrows were the problem. Apparently not.
Tonight I'm moving back to my standard 20 yard shot to make sure those are on and my broadheads are hitting where they are supposed to. I'm optimistic this will work out well too.
So the lesson I've learned from this is that if I want my bow to hit where I want it to, I've gotta go out and shoot it. Shoot it frequently and with purpose. Flinging arrows just to fling them doesn't work. At least not for me. I've let my bow sit in it's case too long. So I'll make sure I get out often and shoot to keep my form sharp. The animals deserve nothing less. And it gets the kids out with me so they can have fun shooting their bows too. Never anything wrong with that.
Bring on bow season. I'm fired up and confident! That is all.
