You're welcome, elkbreath, glad to help.

Those are some good positions to practice from, especially for ground hunters.

Try laying on your back to shoot. You'll have to roll the string with the arrow into the sight window to keep it on the shelf, but it'll work.

Cool video elkbreath  

Try a bit of teflon tape on the point threads it works better than string wax.

Great video elkbreath,looks like you are getting dialed in.I bet those heavy arrows hit super hard.I also like shooting from my knees, but my old football knees are starting to complain when its time to stand up.

Good shooting...that little dog knew it was your last arrow. He/she was watching you the whole time. No telling how many times it has seen you do that!

Yeah,

Her name is cricket; the arrow finding miracle.  She'll stand beside me, or a tad in front and watch every arrow, ussualy twitching or half chasing at every arrow.  Stumpin is awesome cause she'll chase the arrow till she sees it, or put her nose on the ground, etc...  

The whole reason I did this shoot in the first place was to "hear" the arrow on its way.  I'm not as quick as a buck that has spent his life live-wired, but there just isn't that much time there?  IS that arrow too loud?  Is the bow too loud?  Imagine a big jim 300 or a tree shark on the end of that bugger. go ahead and jump but I think it'll be too late.  It blows me away how they ever have enough time to react.

you ever seen that video on youtube of a squirrel dodging an arrow?  In slow mo he watches as it goes by...where is that vid...

I'm working on the "from my back shot".  We'll get another video up here soon.  Thanks for the input guys!
