who could argue with that group?  Nice shooting, and it sounds like it really thumps that target!!

[canshooter]

Thank you! although to be fair its only 11 yards. I like the Maddog bow and having received MOTBB volume 3 the same day, I finally understand the term back tension.

I'm not busting on you in any way,I just never figured out how folks can shoot with an open hand like that,then close up on the shot.I've tried it and it knocked every shot off.

That's nothing to scoff at especially having shoot sticks for only 6 months.   To say the least you make that bow look good,  If I could afford one you'd be my staff shooter.

I am aware that I am doing the hand grab thing and I have been trying to curb the habit. I must say that it doesnt seem to have affected my shooting too badly but I am working on it. Mike thanks for the kind comments. Your bows are every bit as good as people say and I am certainly pleased with the choice that I made.

You alignment is looking good...MBB3 has some helpful hints on the bowhand.  You seem relaxed and unhurried...which will allow you to make significant gains in your shooting at a rapid pace.

Congrats....keep working!

Nice steady bow arm which helps greatly on follow through. It didn't drop at all.  I liked it.

Thanks for the responses. The bow is 49 lbs at my draw length and presently I dont think I want anything heavier. Heavier bows and my bow arm gets less steady!
