Good work!

Good job joe.  I like to set my 20yd pin 1" low since people tend to shoot high from a stand.  Regardless, its coming together.

Did you use that pin on your buck? LOL. 1" would have made all the world of a difference...

when I lived out in buffalo I got a full year membership for the range.  shot there a lot.  good practice as long as you don't let yourself develop bad habits shooting at spots.

I did phade, but then I would have missed all the fun

oh yea good shooting keep at it.  you can French tune with only 20 yards or so for your center shot.  for paper tuning a pro shooter Tim Gillingham has told me to paper tune at 5, 15, and 30 feet.  I've figured out that you may get slight tears in paper (under 1/2") just because the arrow shafted hasn't settled yet.  between doing all that stuff you should be able to get that thing pounding that X when you shoot right.

Nice work Joe, keep at it!

Looks good Joe.  Didn't you have a range in your cellar?  I remember you posting some pictures.

Yea I do but its only 10 yrd max and I needed a few things anyhow so I figured i'd do some work on my bow and shoot while i was there... Plus a real range is more fun lol

Farm boy like yourself, you should have a barn to shoot in. I shoot in mine all winter, up to ~50 yards.
