Is anyone pulling their bowstrings yet? Yeah, I know, you 3D guys shoot a hundred arrows per weekend year 'round, right?

Jeff,
<br>
<br>Just pulled mine out the other day. I felt kinda weak since I had not drawn it since late January. Still shot fairly good. I got a 4 arrow group down to about 4.5 inches @40 yards. Not a bad way to start it off. I should get better as my arm gets back in shape pulling that bow. I plan on getting it down below 2 inches or so before the hunts actually start. At 20 and 30 yards, I am confident I am shooting the arrows about 1/4 inch apart. and at 60 yards I only shot it twice, the best was 4/4 in a paper plate. The other was 3/4 in the plate.
<br>
<br>In case you are interested I am pulling 70 pounds. My arrows are 26 1/2 inches. I shot with an over draw. My field tips are 125 grains. over all the arrow weighs 465 grains. I am averaging a AMO speed of 246. I was shooting the game simulator at PSE, that is how I got the arrow speed. While I was there, I also got my arrows weighed.
<br>
<br>I am not sure, but I think if I have the time, I might change to 100 grain heads, for the flatter tragetory and faster speed.
<br>
<br>That is how my first day few days of shooting started out.
