Lessons learned by a new tradguy
« on: July 17, 2012, 07:45:00 PM »
In the past couple of weeks I have been practicing more on form than repetition.  I have a new bow and an older bow (less poundage)that I am working with.  I have learned some really important lessons. (reading post on here might have helped just a tad)
Nocks: these little do dads can really affect arrow flight

Strings: a FF string really improves speed and arrow flight, seems like I read that in a thread?

Form: Do I need to say anything? Might have been mentioned also...

Practice: If I'm doing it wrong, at least I'm doing it wrong all the time

Trad Archery: Crazy Fun and could cause a little bit of OCD! Enjoying the headaches for now!
Thanks for all the advise and post from your experiences!  I hope to take my bow into the field this year and make meat.  If not, I will continue to work on it and wait for the critters to come next time. Scout

Cavalry Scout, one of the great lessons that I have learned in this sport, is that you never stop learning, seems things change pretty quickly in regards to equipment and the proper set up for said equipment. I think another lesson learned by most is that we overlook the smallest of things and these small things can make a big difference in our equipment performance as well our personal performance.

Cavalry Scout...I've been going through the same thing for about the past 4-5 months and I couldn't agree more!  Well said!
