Its these little holes in the cam, apparently you can adjust draw length with these at home without a bow shop tune. If I get stuck , a fella who shoots longbows in comps who comes in my business said I can go to his gaff and he will help me Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've often said that being a bummer would make life much simpler mack. You could have sex whenever you want to , because no bloke ever said no to sex. You could have the football on whenever you wanted to , because no bloke ever wanted to watch the sewing bee instead . You could have a beer whenever you wanted to , because no bloke ever said no to a beer. Yep , as long as you don't mind taking it up the chuffer from time to time , life would be much easier . I always wore a watch( i never had a very expensive one though), I lived my life by it . But the day that my first wife passed away , I realised that clock time is totally irrelevant, and I haven't bothered wearing one since . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But does come with Allen keys to adjust it so will see. Then bought a target , which turned out to be a fancy carrier bag you fill yourself lol . So will fill and see . How well made is that release? I'd be worried of it failing and falling ti bits when I was full draw Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have a cheap wrist release for my slingbow and that has held just fine up to yet at full draw and constent practice. If i carry on with it all, I will probably get a Trufire which seem to be good by reviews Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Loads of his stuff on YouTube Good stuff. I've just binge watched setting up a compound bow. Had a few shots that went far left, but now I have found my true centre shot and re adjusted it all, hopefully be better. Yeah I've seen a few nock on vids cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
