I went tonight and shot my new Mathews XT for the first time:rockon: . WOW! I cannot wait until it is all set up and in my hands again. He said I should be able to start shooting it saturday. But he has to order a new cam for my DL. So he will just put a string loop on for now, until the cam comes in. I cannot believe the difference, the XT makes my Alpine feel like a rough ride. I feel like a little kid at Christmas time :whoo: I am posting this in the Smack Down section cuz when I get my XT...let the games begin eace: . The real shooten starts and you will be the ones baking cobbler and cookies for me! :laugh:
Now that wuz a very nice way to put that DJ> Why you are becomin a Gentleman>:biggrin1: I do totally agree with it as well. HS
Yeah but my Princess tells me I am a good cook....Just make to big ofa mess in tha kitchen. Soooo..... with my score this round.....whats ya'lls order. If I can git a volunteer ta clean up and maybe you can serve it Mr Bowman.> HS
Oh Yeah! Grats on tha new XT Wheels, you gonna love it, love it, love it . Ya gonna love it> I set one up for hunting .They are a class act>
ALRIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CONGRATS Wheels nice bow of choice.:hug: Looks like this (girl) is gettin serious here guys.:doh: I may have to start shootin with at least one eye open.:noidea:
Oh nice going Wheels hehe those little boys think that we women won't pervail...well now you gots you a nice new bow and you will be topping them off into pine land very soon. In our league last night I bettered my score from last week by like 40pts so I'm working on it.
It aint tha bow.... That makes the shooter... Its tha shooter that makes the bow folks!!! So as far as I am concerned I will take the cobbler from Wheels and lets see we can have Chello making the Green Bean Casserole LOL!! Congrats on yer new bow Wheels... now get that form/technique on point and thats when the real shootin.. starts... Had ta take a break for some good ole smack ya know.. I can only let you all go so long without any smack from me and I mean what.. its been like a few days... Work is got me beat.. I have 5 Hospitals I am working with coordinating complete network re-designs with all the bells and whistles... so please I know you guys miss me lots.. just didnt want y'all to go to long without hearing from me b'fore the tears start to fall!!! I mean after all some of us here do have to work for a living!!! I know that sux I mean we all cant have cake jobs like Dredly and Bowman! Or just able to stay home while the other half works.. ~Cough~ Wheels!!! Laters, ~byte~
I agree that the bow does not make a difference to an extent.....but there are some bows that do shoot better than others for me:noidea:
I might have to agree with Bowman on this one, considering my situation. I think the alpine is too short A2A, too light for me, the stablizer was too short, the draw length was 1/2 inch too long, and the grip hurts my hand when I shoot too much. Oh, and let's not forget the cable issues . And even with all this, I still shoot OK. :biggrin1: I have a feeling the XT is going to shoot a lot better for me, since it will actually fit ME eace:
Bowman, I think he is trying to catch you in post count, he sure has a lot of nothin to say :laugh: :laugh: :hug:
Which came first... The Chicken or the egg... Sure if you have a bow that fits you, of course you will shoot better but because your form/technique will be far more suitable for shooting correctly. Improperly fit bows lead to slacky technique/form which leads to bad shots. 95% of archery is form/technique. Which encompasses making sure that your bow is fit to you which helps promote an environment that assures your form/technique are on point. It all comes down to one word... Mechanics!! Understanding the mechanics makes it easy to apply to any bow that is fit to you. This is why its possible to shoot accurately even if cables are in the way. You should be able to shoot accurately even if the bow is not the top of the line bow. SO THERE!!!
