That is impressive
I have never shot an ILF bow but I am pretty sure I could not group like that at 10 yards!

I don’t either most days. This thing is really fun. I put an old rest on it and shoot it exactly as I did compound bows all through the 80’s. Same form and anchor. I used pins back then but never a peep. I got everything aligned over the arrow and the pins were really just for elevation. It was a very fluid style and allowed me to watch the arrow all the way. I’m doing the same thing here, just don’t have the pins. Maybe it’s just nostalgia, but I’m enjoying it immensely.
I know it's a cold shot thread, but my last three from 18 last night were too tight not to share.

Camping at Deer Creek state park this weekend so as the kids go swimming I'm checking out the archery range. Reminded me of days gone bye with large square bails and burlap targets.
An actual COLD shot this morning. Air temp was at 44 degrees, 21 yards.
This morning felt like a morning you were supposed to be in a tree. I got both ladies out a few days ago and shot them both well. It's interesting, now that I am used to the Black Widow, the Stalker feels like it has a mass weight half as heavy as the Widow. I still shot it well, it just felt really light in the hand.

I’ve been shooting my PSR primarily. When I pick up my Pma now it feels like a boat anchor. Most of my other bows are 60 or 62”. They all now feel too long to tote to the woods. And the grips all feel too fat. To me it’s just further proof if you shoot any bow long enough it will feel right.

@switchhitter - I bought this old target from Chuck. I’m pretty sure every hole in it outside of the kill was from him. 
. Or maybe from Ol’ COB. Every bow I ever saw him try to sell came with the phrase, “It’s a good bow. I’ve already got all the bad shots out of it!”

Cold shot from 17 this morning. Flirting with a little forward but I'd take it.
Last arrow from 22.

Brave? Or dumb?
I listened to/watched a podcast with Tom Clum a few weeks ago, talking about skeletal alignment and a rotational draw to encourage strong alignment. I knew I was shooting with a bit of an inward bent wrist, but I had been shooting ok and didn't really worry about it. After listening to Clum explain things, I gave his method a try. Having done this trad thing for several years, I know that the wheels can fall off at any time. But, Clum's method has felt like discovering a cheat code. Arrows have hardly been out of the kill zone in almost 2 weeks and I've shot better and more consistently at 25-35 than I ever have. If anyone wants a listen, here's the link:
Season can't get here soon enough at this point.
