The Satisfaction

Mathews Lift 29.5. Factory strings and set the rest to 0/0 to start. The arrow was straight through the Berger hole. Had a slight nock high tear. Three clicks down and done. I didn’t do much at all. The bow is my son’s and set at 57#, 26.5” draw. 4H only allows 60# so there is not much room to go up. The only “issue” has been peep rotation but I think I got that straightened out.
 
After a good head injury I really didn’t notice him. I can only take in so much information at a time. Trigger, target and pin is about all the fits in my brain at one time. However, the arrow across the face almost got me.

Yeah, I've never met Joel but, have followed him for a while now. From what I have seen from clips of him working with people, him staring at you is the least of your worries.
 
This thread got me inspired and I’m glad it did. Was wondering why I was having a hard time dialing in my new sight…
Nice work……. Now what’s your set up? How did you get to that bullet hole?

Which rest are you using?

I’ll be that guy, for fixed heads to fly reliably for me I’ve typically also gotta get bare shafts to poke a clean hole too. And what bare shafts, especially at a little distance like 5+ yards, have taught me over the years is there’s a ton of influence from my grip. Maybe it’s me, maybe it’s the bows I shoot, but practicing through paper in the garage is pretty much grip training for me.

I agree-ish. I’ll shoot bare shaft to start at times. I stretch it out to 80 yards at times just to see what happens. However, I find broadhead tuning is quicker to the end game. The bare shaft is a great place to start but it’s not your arrow. Fletchings and blades affect what the arrow does. I want to know what my finished product does. I need finishers not starters. But, like I said, I shoot bare shaft a bit. It’s just not a hard standard for me.
 

I had a feeling you were going to say that when you mentioned clicks to adjust. I want that rest badly. But my bow doesn't have integrate and I'm a lefty. That rest is the solitary reason I want to upgrade my bow.
