Yeah, I've got the mini-cat that Milo mentioned, and a bigger version that I think is a catII. It's got a backpack type deal attached to it, etc. I've had 'em a long time, can't recall what they are worth. But, they are both nice. I can bring 'em down to Strouds if you want to look at them.

Sure thing. I think I may have bought the catII off of Milo, but can't remember. I actually like it a lot. The pack part is handy as heck. Used it elk hunting, carried necessities in it.

So here is some really jacked up stuff... I switched to a deer target and had some issues... Then I closed my left eye and started hammering the target again. I hate my eyes... My left is not as good
As my right and it's causing me fits. Not sure if it's allergies or what but I guess I'm going to have to go to the doctor.. I fuggin hate doctors

Closing an eye while shooting trad has gotten me over target panic a time or two. Any chance you got a lil of that? I get a bit of it most every time I shoot... :)

no TP for me. I have to use a verifier at certain times of the year to clear up my pins.

I hear ya Eric!!! I'm left eye dominate and have refused to give up shooting right handed! Fact is I have no option as I can't do shit with my left hand. My eyes have degenerated slowly over the past decade and I don't see it stopping in my future. I actually need to break down and buy a set of cheaters for reading small print but I still haven't taken the time to do that yet!

I do shoot with both eyes open and as I'm nearing the end of my set up tend to partially close my left eye just before the shot. I don't have any idea what your problem might be unless it's just concentration or focus but I doubt that's your issue.

I tend to close my left eye also seems i shoot better that way.
Already got the cheaters Ric for reading small print.sure helps.lol

I also have a cat quiver and they are nice,mine holds 8 arrows.
I have always liked shooting with a quiver on my bows.
The one on my recurve was made by Kanati Quivers and weighs very little.

Over shot a little bit today, and the TP arrived on cue. I immediately quit shooting. Went out 2 other times and shot one set of arrows each time, not at a 'block' style target. I swear those targets bring out the TP in me. Instead i set up a beer can(been doing alot of leaf shooting/beer can/tennis ball/etc. lately.

Shot from around 12 yards the first set of three. Killed the beer can once and the other two where close to touching it.

Took a 5 minute break, wife walked out, Stepped out to about 22 yards, let the first rip, and heard that beautiful 'Pi-ting' of an arrow hitting an empty beer can. Made that the final arrow.

The human mind is a strange thing
