Got it on the second shot.

We've been working hard the past few weeks to come up with some big changes to our vendor policies to meet the changing needs of our community. Please see the new vendor rules here: Vendor Access Area Rules
One shot, everyone knows the rules!

I did some shooting with the compound (44 pound Mathews Heli M) a while ago out of the saddle. I put up a short stand using the Cranford rope steps and a Saddle Scaffold to shoot off of.
I'm pretty happy with that. I was about 30 yards (farther than I want to shoot at critters) and I was just a hair low. The season is getting close. I've got to incorporate more shooting out of the saddle.

First shot from 20 today. It’s a good feeling when a shot breaks perfect and the arrow hits the exact spot you’re looking. Then you wonder why cant I just do that every time. Lol.

If they blow, they got to go!
First shot from 20 today in the building.
After shooting a dozen arrows inside I went out to the 3d targets, fist shot from 25.

This man is ready for his elk hunt
as long as the yips don’t come back in the next 7 weeks.
As soon as my wife and her artistic abilities return from NC to put a coat of paint on this life size silhouette, my first shot of the day will be at it.
Cold from 25

Had the yips a few weeks ago. I shoot every day. Straight up scared me. Went back to the checklist but started with just one thing to focus on at a time before I shot the shot and I moved so I was shooting from close range. 10 yards. As soon as I was just focused on one thing the rest came back into place. Mine was grip. Got me back to where I should’ve been and I could work the checklist again as I squeezed. You’ll get it back and this will be a funny weird memory.

Nock broke, flew 2 yards into the laundry sink, string popped off. Guess I’ll be headed to the shop after work and hoping for the best. Not the greatest one shot!
I had the yips with the longbow last night. I haven't shot it for a few days and the results seemed like I had never shot a bow before. There was no predicting where the arrows were going to end up. I really gland I hung the horse mat behind the target now.
I finally got disgusted and quit for the night. I guess I'm just going to have to work through it. Hopefully I figure it out soon.

Apparently the yips are contagious and I have contaminated this thread. Sorry guys and gals.
First shot last night from 20. My yips symptoms don’t start presenting until the second arrow.
Have you tried waiting 10 minutes or so between shots? Would result in fewer shots per day, but if the quality of shots goes up then you can shorten the wait time to 5 etc. Quality over quantity menatalityFirst shot last night from 20. My yips symptoms don’t start presenting until the second arrow.

I haven’t. Im getting it figured out though. Put my clicker back on and started using it as a psycho trigger again and it has really cleaned up my release and got me pulling though my shot again.
