I'm in Grand Rapids for a food show and they had a beer show as sort of a prelude, it was great. The big boys were in the main room but the local breweries had their own area. Grand Rapids has some great ones, Founders and Bells for starters
Best advice I can give you is get a loop installed and a caliper release. Finger shooting is an art and as mentioned above if you've got a short axle to axle bow its even more difficult . You'll be used to it in just a handful of shots
If you have a "chip clip" hang it from the ceiling in front of your target and clip a sheet of paper in it. Shoot an arrow through it from a few feet back. If your tear isn't a nice bullet hole your rest may need to be moved. It could also be a form issue but it's a good place to start
Talk to me about beans. My property is surrounded by massive bean fields and we never see deer using them come season. Do they quit them once they turn brown?
Rock have you shot through paper? Sounds like your centershot is off As far as a release you can get a good trigger cheap in the classifieds of most forums. I always liked Scotts little mongoose. New they aren't even expensive
