Your Bowtech looks nice man.
Yeah the new strings are great. It came with red strings originally which looked hideous.
What distance are you shooting at in the photo?

That's at 40 yards (36m) which is about as far as I have shot out to. I need to get the sight tape only my sight sorted when I have time.
How do you find the overall weight with the carbon riser?
When I've got the quiver full of arrows on the Reign it feels pretty heavy - apparently a heavier bow holds on target steadier(?) but I've never tried anything else to be able to tell

That's pretty impressive at that distance, imo. I can get max 15 meters across my front yard at home and my groupings are about the same as yours at 36, haha.
My carbon air is super light. I'm new to archery and don't have much to go off of, but the people at Advanced Archery also commented on how light it is, so I'll take that as confirmation.
Couldn't say if a heavy bow holds steadier, but it certainly reduces fatigue.
My first bow is that EK Archery Research piece of junk shown in the first photo, that thing weighs a ton by comparison. But, it was cheap, and it got me back into archery (I had a bow about 15 years ago).
Got this a couple of weeks ago and am just getting to grips with it. Really enjoying it but I think game animals are pretty safe from me at the moment.
I have shot it out to 30 yards but am still playing with the sights for different distances. I am sitting inside today watching the rain so am restricted to the 10 yards I can shoot inside. Haven't damaged anything yet...

FFS. Can't seem to get this photo the right way up!
Best group today at 43 yards. I could usually get at least two arrows close together but then had some pretty wild ones too.

Bit of sight adjustment to do but happy with progress so far.
Nice work @Ryan Songhurst,
I finally managed just before Christmas get the missus to commit to a recurve bow she finally liked to shoot after trying quite a few. We ended up picking it up from Mike and Linda at Attitude Archery along with the requisite bits and pieces (ha ha I got my own little joke in with the fletching on the arrows in Blue and Gold - good old Otago colours for the Aucklander to shoot..) also saved a few hundy dollars and got a higher spec'd riser than the one available at advanced archery (things were a bit slim pickings prior to Xmas - I think a few people were getting that from Santa this year - Ho ho ho)
Now just have to sell the 300 win mag and I can go get that Compound bow that's been calling my name..
CD.

Well I finally got the 'better' sight, that I had ordered in April, so now my bow is complete.
1st with the 'antique' stabilisers

notes:
NAP Apache drop down arrow rest, with cage, c/o eBay
Stabiliser mount from Mr Lim, c/o eBay
Extended camo sight branded TR Blade, c/o eBay
Cat's whiskers supplemented, with a bit of white shock cord core
I put on the speed beads, as most top end bows, seem to come with them now, so I wanted them too :)
Thumb release, c/o eBay, exactly the same as a 'Wolf' release but cheaper.
Now to paper tune, etc, etc and sight in the bow, peep sight might be replaced
@Ryan_Songhurst, that's the Mandarin Duck, Black Hunter, right? Just ordered a 60lb, but with the hybrid limbs. Looking forward!
