Updates. The string has stretched a bit and my brace height has dropped down to about 7 3/8". Surprisingly, I'm rarely getting arm slap now. Either I have subconsciously changed my form or the DROP in brace height helped, which seems opposite of what should have happened. This bow continues to surprise me. If I do my part, arrows fly where they are supposed to go. I am shooting the same arrow as I shoot with my recurve (Black Eagle Vintage 350 spine, 31" long, 50grain brass insert) on a 46lbs@28" bow. The longbow is 50lbs@28". I'm pulling closer to 29". I felt like the 150 grain heads with the longbow were flying a bit stiff (I assume due to difference in arrow shelf depth), so I swapped to 175 grain heads and they seem to be flying great. The downside, I only have two 175 grain heads from a field tip test pack I bought 2 years ago. I ordered more from fleBay, they should arrive soon.
Cold shot a few days back.
I've been trying an arrow or two a day at 40 trying to hit my little groundhog foam target. Finally clipped his ass this morning. Lots of close calls before I finally sunk one in him.
These two were from about 25 yards. Proof that if I do my part, it works. That hasn't always been the case in the last week. I had a few form breakdowns and the wheels started to loosen but I've got things back on track.
Two this morning quartering away at 20.
