I have been monkeying with it too.  The hardest part for me is seeing that dang arrow tip.  It vanishes on me.

The steadier one's focus is, the clearer the secondary image becomes.

Agreed.

Having tried looking hard at the point you want to hit I find seeking the point in secondary vision is getting easier.

Wanna pass along that Steve Turay has a new Shelton listed on his website.  68" 52@28, RH Straight Grip.  Shedua riser, ALL YEW limbs with clear glass.  

Steve and I have been messaging back and forth for a few days.  I knew he was finishing it up as a stock bow, and I had planned on picking it up, AS IT'S PERFECT!  But alas, I just can't swing it right now.  I hope another TradGanger picks it up and enjoys it.

Dang, that sounds like a nice bow.  But I can't afford the attorney right now that would come with it.

I just saw this post/topic, and am thinking of a HH bow.  You mention Steve Turay has a Shelton listed on his site...that's not HH Bow's site (unless I missed something there)...would y'all mind 'xplainin' who/what/where this is.  I know I have a lot of pages to read to catch up (daggone - 937 more to go), but thought y'all wouldn't mind helping an ol guy out...

OK!  Thank you Brianlocal3!
I guess I'm on a "hunt".  I want to start getting into bow arms shape - it's been a while for me, and something new might be the motivation!

Heads up....a relatively new Miller Old Tom just hit the classified's.  If I hadn't swapped/sold so many bows over the weekend, I'd be callin' for pics of this one.

Doggoneitall, y'all have me stoked.  The Special Edition on HHA website looks awfully pretty!  How do y'all think such a layup would shoot?  I like really smooth - am use to recurves.

I had plans to make it up to Hamilton last week and order, hopefully, the ultimate in smooth shooter, at least in my best guess. But it was not to be. A hail storm slowed me up heading west, I left my cell phone lay somewhere, and I developed a remarkable inner right ear problem going over the Bighorns. Apparently, allergies and altitude don't mix.

R.C. I got a little behind reading! Here's my answer to some of your questions:

I use a tab made from cordovan leather with no stiches.

My bow is a Shelton TD 53 lbs at 27" draw, 66" long (tilered 3 under).

I use Douglas fir, 55-60 lb. spine, tapered shafts,27.5" long, about 520 grain shafts with 160 grain broadheads or field tips.

Like the look of your NM Shelton.

Does anybody know how to search this thread?  I'm struggling to figure this out. I was looking at getting some Hill BHs to use this year and wanted to read up on them a little for tips and tricks... I'm sure this subject has been covered in the 939 pages!
