Shooting short bows takes some getting used too.  It is sort of an instinct style of shooting, just draw, point and let go.  I like shooting this way, I am not much of a draw anchor and release kind of guy but then my accuracy could be better also, I don't shoot as much as I should.

Be careful now man. After shooting that bow for a while when you pick up a longer bow you will wonder how you ever handled such a long bow.  :)

Nice job Tracy.

Nice compact bow, just the job for hunting in the bush.
Not that I know, can't hunt in the UK :(... mind this morning our toaster gave out so may be I'll hunt that when Mrs Cat isn't looking. I just love shooting electrical appliances ;D :o.

Agree Grady, starting to like the short bow style ;)

Thanks Jon and Soy. Going to be strange shooting a 64" at first.

Bummer on no hunting del :'(. Like your target there. Got any pics of a cell phone like that? I'll show it to my students and tell them that was a phone I took in class last year >:D

Nice bow, I love the shorties. I still anchor to my lip for short draw, but flex my bow arm. I paint a ring on my arrows so I know im getting them to where they should. Cheers
