I think the grip shape is what makes one best for me !

[Roy from Pa]

Yup that says it all, + cut close to center.

  Or a bow that you are just all around comfortable with...  I could just be a crappy shooter...  A recurve I sold to this guy sent me pics of 3 to 4" groups at 35 yds. with my bow... 

[Roy from Pa]

Shreddy didn't happen wifout pichers...

   25 - 30 and 35yd...  That's the model that y'all said it had a flat spot in it...   

[Roy from Pa]

That's very good shooting.

The bow I received from Kenny in this years swap shoots like that, very accurate..

I attribute it mostly to the center shot and grip design. Kenny made the grip like he likes it, " after we talked about it ", and it just so happened to fit me perfect with my high wrist style of shooting.

Not to mention that Kenny's r/d longbows shoot pretty quick...

Comfortable grip arrow tune and don't be overbowed good form  are all things the make the operator control.

[Roy from Pa]

Yupper, Mike and the mental shot sequence aspect....

[Shredd]

Yes sir...  I am trying to fine tune right now...  I think it is my release that I have to work on...  With six arrows at 20 yds.,  on average I have been grouping 3 arrows in 2 inch groups then about 2 arrows 2 to3" from that group and then the last arrow about four inches out from the tight group...  I know it's my release...  That's a toughy for me...  I know that is plenty good for hunting...  They are all in the kill zone...  But I am trying to win the 3D competition at the local club next month...

  Any tips are welcome...

Be sure that the follow through is not breaking down.   FWIW, that’s pretty good shooting as it is.   

[Roy from Pa]

Video yourself shooting, videos don't lie.

You could be pulling your head up at the same time you release.

Kenny, don't even say it.

LOL

[Stagmitis]

Rich couple inch groups at 25 yds can bang out tons of 10`s ! Thats world class shooing 

[kennym]

Rich if your group gets bigger last few arrows you are prob losing concentration .

Try shooting a couple and doing something else for a minute , then a couple more .

You won’t have to shoot 6 at a 3D target unless ya shoot like Roy .... 

[Roy from Pa]

Rich I've noticed the more i drink the bigger my groups get.

Just sayen....

[kennym]

 

[Crooked Stic]

What you drinkin --- prolly seein two dem bulls eyes   

[Roy from Pa]

LOL..............

[Shredd]

  If I shoot right in the middle of all three I am sure to get a good score...   

   Thanks for all the tips guys...  I cut the tips off of my glove...  I think that is helping some...  I have a static release...  I may try going to more of a follow through release...  Yeah Kenny...  I find that concentration is the key...  You can't just throw arrows at the target and expect them to hit the bulls eye...  (which I do sometime) But when I really concentrate my groups really tighten up...

  What are your guys feelings on a window that is cut past center for accuracy???

  Kenny sorry for hijacking your thread...

[Roy from Pa]

What are your guys feelings on a window that is cut past center for accuracy???

The ideal situation is when the string is aligned dead center with the center of the limbs and looking down the arrow shaft, the string is aligned with the center of the arrow shaft from nock to point.

[Shredd]

  Sooo...  That sounds like a good thing to me...
