Just cranked the bow weight up!

Postby Lefty » 08 27, 2013 •  [Post 1]

to 49.89 lbs. for the oepner
After rotator cuff surgury Ive kept my bow down and just the past month started shooting at 34# then 42, then 46.
New taget and hunting arrow set up,.. wow what a differance shooting at a stronger draw weight. I was using my 3rd pin to shoot at 27 yards, now the pin at the same location shoots at 40 yards,( my arrows are 3 gn heavier).
Only a few days to know what my arrows awill be doing at 50 and 60 yards

Come on Friday :D
