Ok, Having been given a little coaching session (Well, Les saying that I have completely the wrong stance, no back tension and and shoulders like Quazimodo) I think I will be shooting my current rig for a while. Also, now have been told about string window and trying to use that.

Must admid that fitting on a fully set of v-bars and rods did make the bow feel nicer, but didn't make me shoot better.

Sponge.

I feel that get the most of your existing kit, then after a few months it will be obvious what is needing replacement, plenty of practice and coaching will get you better improvements rather than a new carlos fandango part. IMHO

A decent sight reticule, I have found that a round inside and outside better suited than a square outside. Using an illuminated reticule, fibre optic centre did me no good at all. A spare string that gives you a matching pair, alternate their use. A set of decent arrows. Try v-bars and if they do not improve your score, go for a lighter less complex set up. If you do change a component, really test and evaluate its performance before accepting it as part of your standard kit. My main upgrades have been limbs (poundage 36-40#) sight reticule and long rod. The limbs enabled me to shoot accurately (hit the boss) at 100 yards. The sight so I can hit what I aim at and the long rod gives me much tighter groupings. I bought arrows that would eventually suit what poundage I would be shooting, all the equipment seems o suit what I am doing now, I am getting PB's every week and realise that it will soon stabilise, grade C indoors by the end of the season, so close every week, and Bowman class outdoors for next season.
