22 yds today was just a hair lower than i like.
The next 4 were much better at 20 yds.

been a long, tiring week working. no shooting since last weekend. I decided to head to Ground Zero to put my traditional trail camera out for a couple of hours this morning. I'm rather flying blind to get set up as this season will be my first time hunting the property, so I was quite pleased to see two different doe units, one with this bonehead in tow, come right past me. my north wind stand is in a good place. :cool:

he cut my trail and tracked me to the tree. never did wind me or look up.:) but he did offer me a nice 15 yard shot as he wandered off.

17 yard cold shot very reminiscent of the look ole bonehead gave me. on the money.

this is a 3.5 year old 5x5, and he might make 140". I'll kill him without thinking twice about it if I get the chance. I doubt he is the best buck in the neighborhood, but we have a history now. the first buck I ever saw on my property. surely, he knew that I was unarmed today and was just toying with me, lol.

Today’s round was pretty piss poor. Climbed up in the stand. First shot with the broadhead was a straight spine shot. Climbed down, shot real nice off the ground. Climbed back up, next two shots were decent. Then another spine shot. Shot a few more nice ones off the ground.

I have never had this issue with a compound of consistently shooting high when in a stand. I tried bending at the waist before and after drawing the recurve.

Arrows also appear to be flexing vertically in flight path.

All the shooting and practice seems to go down the drain when the season rolls
