Any of you guys ever have a day of shooting where it’s as if you’ve never picked a bow up in your life? Whew yesterday was a zinger for me, I can most days hit 10 or 9 ring out to 25-30 yds 8 out 10 shots, yesterdays shoot I missed a 3d at 15 and it got worse from there lol idk what happened but it had me thinking a lot yesterday, I know today will be better but dang how can I shoot good almost always then have a day that I literally fall apart on.

That was happening to me real bad when my arrows weren’t tuned well. I got so in my head I would just start pulling the shots to outer space. It isn’t fun at all but I do find that taking a couple days off is a good reset.

Unknown yardage at the shot
Ranged afterwards at 27. Browsing on beautyberry hehehe

 

[Weldabeast]

I had my kid go and place the target random in the yard so I didn't know where it would be

 

[Bowmanmike]

Ok,first 4 shots. Shot a broadhead,then bareshaft and two fletched at 27. I aimed for the black spot on the right. I have shot very little this summer,but I guess muscle memory is ok.

Are you counting that as a good shot or low? On my Glendale buck I had trouble picturing true vitals location

That is a heart shot on a live deer for sure.

 

[Weldabeast]

I aim low and expect the critter to drop. That was just where I was aiming

I aim pretty much straight up the leg. I got the horsepower to make it thru the shoulders so I don't think about it too much

 

[Weldabeast]

I need to rephrase that .....I have very little horsepower at all. My bow is only set are 50ish pounds.

I have built the correct equipment to not have to worry if I'll hit shoulders or not. If the critter is close...say 10-15 yards I aim at the shoulder

 

[Weldabeast]

Maybe it deserves another thread but the difference between a front of the lung vs a back of the lung hit is very very different. I'm trying for the front of the lung hit

Same @65+ on mine I aim right at that shoulder.
