Well, it shoots fast enough, but I couldn't hit a group to save my life... and the arrow seemed to sit nose up on the string despite a nocking point
... a little examination revealed that my hand was higher on the grip than I wanted. This was mainly due to the upper limb being shortened and the grip moved down.
I did some work with a rasp and a file to move the comfortable area of grip down and moving the nocking point up about 1/4" and the groups starting coming. I could feel the grip still wasn't consistent or comfortable, but a little rasping here and there ... oooh and a little bit... just.... there.. ah, that's got it
. It sits comfortable and consistent now.
Of course there is some operator error, but it's vastly improved.
I think this illustrates the value of a little investigative work and fine tuning, which the newbie often doesn't know about, but the old hands take for granted. It also shows how a commercial bow may feel all right in theory, but may still benefit from customisation... just a shame that some people would have a fit of the vapours if you suggested rasping or filing their shiny gripped modern bow

PS Too dark now for a full draw shot
