    I finally got to try my bow again, after all the re-jigging of the ::

    Draw weight ~ 50lbs
    Cam timing
    Cam lean
    Centre shot
    Measured all my arrows for grain weight, spine, straightness and discarded the ones that were furtherest from average.

    A rough sighting of 20 yd pin in the living room, on the basis that the difference between 7 yds and 20 yds, will not be toooo much...

    Photos below, 1st of a group at 15 yds and then the second group at 20 yds.

    My conclusion ::

    I'm going to have to practise more, to build up my left arm strength, pain in the shoulder on the upper end and a twinge in the elbow end, of the Triceps muscle in my left arm.

    I'm quite pleased with the lateral grouping of the arrows. I can feel it in my shots, that I'm not steady enough in the vertical axis, so that accounts, for the splay there.
