RadSav,

I really appreciate you taking the time to go off topic and share the above story!  The wife has been after me for quite some time to get the eyes checked out.  I will do that for sure.  :tup:

If only men could listen to their wives earlier.  But we just never know when that blah, blah, blah, nag, nag, nag is going to produce something useful :chuckle: :chuckle:

Radsav,
I'll be doing some creep tuning eventually but first I have a bad case of TP that needs to be squashed before baselines can be established.  I shot the other night and for the life of me could not float my pin over the spot.  I could only hold directly below the dot.  Now I'm always holding low.

Not to get Rad's thread too off topic but, do you come down to the target or up to it?

I'm not sure there is really any right or wrong answer to that.  But for myself, when hunting, I drop down.  However, when I'm working on basics to keep target panic at bay I mix it up as often as possible.  The more I can keep my mind busy on something other than the struggle of target panic the better off I am.

Little things are like pennies, ya add enough of them together and they add up to something big.
Sometimes, a little thing can make all the difference.
Spent most of my $$ on huntin, fishin & retrievin dogs, the rest I just pretty much wasted.

Rad, I get panicked thinking about target panic  :yike:  that was a great post that hopefully helps a lot of people.

I have target panic on practice targets but in the woods I've yet to have target panic.
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

I'm ready to take some more notes RadSav. I'm especially looking forward to what you have to say about lowering my anchor.

Sorry for the delay.  Just about have all the taxes for 2014 reconciled and completed.  Hope to get a few more off my list before 1Q2015 paperwork starts!

"Start your own business", they said.  "Be your own boss", they said.  "Enjoy the fruits of your labor", they said.  "Owning your own archery company won't even seem like work", they said! 

They forgot to tell me I wouldn't get paid the first three years but would have to pay taxes on fictitious personal income.  They forgot to tell me I'd work 18 to 20 hours a day.  They forgot to tell me I'd spend 80% of my time paying monthly taxes, quarterly taxes twice a quarter and annual taxes four times a year.  They also forgot to tell me I'd be so tired that I'd spend most of my hunting seasons sleeping in the truck while the wife hunted on her own.

At least I know that in five years or less this will be someone else's "dream come true" :tung: :tung: :chuckle: :chuckle:

Been there, done that.  Don't do it!! :chuckle:


You'd make more money and have a brighter outlook on the human race if you tune bows for $0.25 an hour!
after i win a million on lottery than I'll spend it all on my archery shop.

Not very fond of money are you  :chuckle:
Shut up and Hunt!
