I do shoot instinctive, but night hunting is not allowed. We hunt spot and stalk, and seem to find hogs in the same general areas year to year. Didn't know how the moon would affect their feeding/ movement.

nothing quite pisses you off like getting your nose thwacked by your string... that, and stepping on a LEGO barefoot

Yep. It's not the bow.  It's your head placement.  Turn it more toward the string as others have suggested.  Opening your stance a little, i.e., turning a little more toward the target, will facilitate that. 

If you have a Big Jim Bow please post some pictures of it and tell us what you think about it! I noticed the threads that had the links to pictures from past years were no longer active.

I am a firm believer that moon phases do influence peak times for movement/ feeding in most animals. I am not sure where you are headed, but check to make sure if there are any state laws or ranch restrictions on hunting hogs at night . If not, and depending on your shooting ability, style ("instinctive"), and limiting the range of your shot, try them at night. Many a hog has gone down this way. But, and I will stress, keep it legal and ethical. Good luck to you.

Freezing shouldn't affect it.  Mix a small scoop of each part as a test to confirm it's still good.
