How many hunt using a compound bow

So I've had a productive arvo..
I spent hours last night trying to find a vid or a manual but to no avail.
I stumbled across the Hoyt bows manual. After a bit of a read and look over my bow I was thinking.. What the hell.. Let's give it a go..
Well 4 screws and I've not only shortened my draw but I have also adjusted my let off or hold weight..

So since I had less hold weight if cracked the bow back up to max (70-75 pound)
And am a happy chappy..

I also took your advice growler and adjusted the peep so I drew with eyes closed and opened to spot on..
This in turn has made my 1/4 peep spot on also for the size issue and I now see only 1/2 the orange ring of the sight..

So all in all a happy day..
Now to re sight and enjoy..

So seems I'm the only one enjoying our sport lol..

Yesterday I got the missus to grab a pack of the click together floor mats, $12 from masters.
Cut down into 1/4's so there 300x300

I also noticed my peep sliding so I reset it and re tied it.. I think the braid is a bit small but we'll see how this new knot goes..

So after 2 sessions on the bow I'm pretty happy..

Yea you may want to make the serving a little longer and wax the string more and it might hold better also

I think the wax is the issue..
But yea I've done nearly 3 times longer than what I had

Nice idea for a target might have to steal that idea for myself

Go easy on the serving the more shit on your string the slower ya bow will be every little bit makes a difference ay

Well I managed another target and I like this one better...

So much easier to pull arrows from cardboard... And it's 600x600x250 which I feel a bit easier aiming at from 30m
But ofcourse I had to try it..
I moved my rest 1mm to the right and from 10 the arrows moved 150mm to the left..
But from 10 I happy with the spacing.. There is 6 arrows here..

great idea.....i use body boards that ya can get when the council does there kerb side rubbish pick up around town, i do the same 3 body boards cut to shape then glued and then wrapped up great for home or out bush

Yea I've made a second one now. Found out my bows 65#..
And cams were way out...
So I think this is the reason I'm having issues with the arrow hitting the rest..
Paper tune to cime

I use polystyrene we use sheets for cladding houses and rendering over 5 sheets glued togeather and it weighs nothing also a 2400x1200x75 sheet is like 30$
