making the TXG's set up a talk :)

I got to shoot a couple NFAA matches this year with the fellow that won then 2007 World champion Vegas barebow (at one time or another he has won everything else too ). Yep he string walks a compound but he tought me soooooo much in the couple of times I shoot with him that I will be ever grateful. Back in the '70s he won every thing there was to win with a recurve so he was right at home giving advice and coaching to a recurve shooter. First off he was impressed with my TXG's and could still score better with them than I could.

He said I didn't have a chance unless I put a under arrow clicker on my system and learned how to use it. he was right. I droped an 1/4" deep 8-32NC hole on the belly of the sight window and bent a piano wire to use a the clicker.

Today I shot a PB of 276 (barebow string walking) with the clicker on a NFAA 300 indoor round (60arrow @ 20yd). That was 24 points above my average. I had been shooting the clicker for about 30days getting thing going. I shoot 1500 arrows in practice over that period of time.

I don't know if the Beirter Rest will be legal in IFAA matches since it is more than 1/4" above the arrow (that is why you have to use a under the arrow clicker). May have to change that. I just had no idea how much difference a clicker would make in my ability to shoot the TXG's. anything that will give a 24 point boost should be looked at.

OH! and I am not suggesting that you drill and tap a hole you your favorite riser........but



you will get every possible point out of the TXG's and they deserve it
