| I was half-expecting to do OK at the Bronte shoot because my new outdoor setup -- Axis with G3s and Beiter button -- has been shooting beautifully. Everyone who's had a go on it was impressed with how sweetly it shot. So today I went up to Aire Valley's St Ives site to get some sight marks and -- it shot like ars*.  I don't know what I've done wrong, but it was utterly crap. Only 2 out of 6 shot were hitting at 80 yards, and I didn't even attempt 100 yards.So it's panic stations for me. And I won't get another chance to shoot now until the day before the Bronte tourney. Unless I throw a sickie...       | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

 Have you checked all the equipment things, like nocking point in the right place? Were they just not making it or not grouping?

| Arrows were all over the place. Mystery, I'm afraid. One thing I noticed is that the bracing height had dropped by a centimetre, even though I'm sure the string's fine and I haven't untwisted it. I'm hoping it's not a limb fault... They're under warranty, but I can do without the hassle.There's a practice session at Bronte on Saturday. I'll try out the Axis+G3s again at that. If still no joy, I'll use the Toutall+Challenger Craft -- at least it's consistent, even if it struggles at 100 yards. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

By the sound of it we will have to keep a close eye on the raffle ticket serial numbers!

| spent the day at Bronte today.....and learned how to shoot properly!!! I have used muscles consistantly today that I didn't know existed!! It was blowing a gale (normal for Bronte) so we sloped off to the corner of the field where it was sheltered!!! At least I've got sight marks - I just need to practice this new technique!!! oh, and keep my mouth shut and not move my jaw
