A Cautionary Tale:
There once was a bowyer named John
Thought shooting arrows a yawn
When deer season arrived
Nothing jived
Now his arrows are scattered all over the lawn.
This was the last group I shot this morning. I really was trying to hit the center of the bag and focusing tightly on the spot. But this is what happens when you don't practice.
....I hope. :-[
Stringman:
Lol! Ok I'm not laughin at you...well, maybe just a little. I certainly recognize the propensity within myself to have put this off to the last minute. You now understand my purpose for posting this a MONTH AGO!!
Good news is a "problem clearly stated is a problem half solved!" - not sure who said that...
Good luck with your daily practice from here on out! :laugh:

JW, that poem was hilarious. But what's not so funny is your group looks better than mine was after trying to get back in shape from not shooting all summer. My groups are softball sized at 15 yds. now.
Sidewinder:
JW you are a true blue dude. Thanks for your honesty.
I was shooting the other day at a target about 17 yds out. When I first started shooting I was all over the place. I thought, " I ought to post these groups" since that was how bad I was shooting. Then I saw this post of yours and you stole my thunder, lol.
The shooting did get better, I started grouping 3 inside a baseball at 15 and 20 and then my fourth arrow was always a rouge and would be quite a bit outside the kill zone.
I have noticed that if I settle down and get consistent with everything I do pretty well but alot of times I'm flinging arras cuz I like to and that does not promote good shooting habits. I need to tell myself "bad boy, bad bad boy" and just stop it and get serious. Danny
