Blasphemy?

The majority of your bowhunting year is spent practicing and/or training. This is the place to discuss it!

Id love to have a good 30 lb'er. A few things I've noticed about shooting lighter weights, is it will show you ALL the flaws in your form, and release. I use to think I had pretty solid form until I began to regularly shoot 40-45 lb bows.....then they told on me. It's really ideal, because we are supposed to be concentrating on form from the beginning. I've found out, if my form holds true, hitting is not a problem,...indicating even shooting with instinctive aiming methods, that aiming is the least of the worry. Building consistent form, and especially perfecting the release are much more monumental to "worry" about.

I just sold the journey limbs at Cloverdale. Still have the sage riser and 50# for sale. Is there a very active "for sale" site on TradHunter?
It's worth a try for sure....we get LOADS of "gawkers" that never make postings.
