Title: This ever happen to you?
Post by: hntrspud on August 12, 2013, 08:37:27 PM: Go out, shoot 4 or 5 arrows and say, "not happening tonight". Just went out to shoot for a few minutes in between chores and although I hit the target at 30yds, it wasn't pretty. :chuckle:

Post by: h20hunter on August 13, 2013, 08:38:21 AM: Yep.....and I stop shooting. On the flip side when I'm getting close to being done with a shooting session I make sure I end on a positive note.....shoot a few that are just drilling the target...call it good.

don't adjust anything, just come back in a day or two and shoot again

I try to shoot for about 20-30 minutes every couple days at least, especially with a new sight, release, fairly new bow. Alot to get used to at once. :chuckle:

Some days it is just better not to.
