Refund or drill riser?

[owlbait]

I shot sooo bad tonight my buddy suggested I ask Rod Jenkins for a refund or call Lee Hoots and see if I could drill the riser for a string tracker or bowfishing reel so I could spend less time looking for my arrows. I even made up some new fur tracers, maybe I should've used the whole darn rabbit! I better apologize to Tony the Tiger from Wisconsin and see if I can send our Compton trophy to him without embarrasing myself on the 3D range

AAHHH,Mike you know we all have those days.Hopefully it wont last any longer then that.Some times when I am strugeling I switch bows, and for some reason it will remove my head from darker places.

Well I guess that post could easily be misinterpreted.Im not telling you to give up on your Hoots bow!Just a temporary change of scenery to recenter yourself.It works for me,maybe it will work for you.I usualy switch to a different grip or riser style to get back inline.

Oh, I thought you meant I had my head up where the sun don't shine

Mike,
You sold me that beautiful RER that wasn't working out for you and I think you swore you'd only shoot Zippers after that.  If you need to send that Hoots back closer to it's maker, I only live maybe 40 miles from his shop.

Bert, you've had some great bows for sale and trade but I made a promise not to buy anything I haven't shot and as poorly as I shot today I'd be embarrassed to pass it on to anyone else. I know it wasn't the bow, I have shot it MUCH better than today.

Mike,
Glad to hear you improved with the Hoots bow.  Keep me in mind....

Bert, I've looked REAL close at thet Toelke you have and I convinced myself the thumbrest wouldn't work for me! Pretty bow. Glad you still consider dealing with me, I always worried after a bow deal that a bow won't work for the next guy and I'll get an even worse rep!
Mike p.s. I got killed on the 3D range again tonight!!

Mike,
No worries, I think that RER finally found a home, haven't seen it listed for a while.  You know how it goes, the search for the perfect bow is a lot of the fun we have, not to mention the good people we get to know.

Owl there was a good article in TBM about short bows and longer bows this last issue. It helped me out even though I new a longer bow shot better. Anyway I got my Hoots recurve a couple weeks after you did and shot it awesome then had a real bad spell, real bad! After reading the article I shot acouple of my 60" recurves for a few days and got my shot back just like Zipper says. Something differant gives you that confidence back especially if its a bow you have shot well before, my case its the longer bows. Took the Hoots turkey hunting last week with all the confidence in the world again and.................. didn't see a bird but took outta few stumps. Good luck and dont force it.
