Does anyone here shoot bows? I was just curious why when shooting bows people are taught to focus on the target as opposed to the sight pin where when shooting a gun we are taught to focus on the sight. What is the difference?

Mine are definately 6oclock.

Thanks fellows. I know what i'll ask Santa for.

Anyone tried this? Im broke and cant afford a real timer at the moment. Of course it takes two people to do this. I was curious if someone has and what the difference is in time. Obviously we couldnt get split times. We would just determine how many shots were going to be fired and the person timing would hit the stop button when they heard the last round fired.

Whats scary is the people that take these shows seriously. Ive been on calls where people think we do DNA testing on mailbox bashing or have a super computer where we just pop in any fingerprint and wa-la...suspect identified.

Front sight on the competition sights is .115. The carry is .125 as is the tritium. I used a Sight tool to install mine. They were tight too.

Thanks guys. Im learning,slowly but surely.

I understand dryfire as far drawing and dryfiring once but when talking about dryfiring while practicing engaging multiple targets i dont understand. How do you reset the trigger without cycling the slide.Do you draw and dryfire on the first target,find the next target and imagine your pulling the trigger?

+ 1 John,im glad everything is going better for you.

Yep You can read about it here Well crap. I am anxious to see Silva Take on Cro-cop Sept 10 in the openweight PRIDE.

Silva and Chuck's fight was cancelled? BTW PRIDE championship is on tonight.

HEAT with Al pacino,Deniro. Tied with Outlaw Josey Wales.

John i kinda heisitated about posting this cause its kind of embarassing but i get the same way a lot. Ive been powerlifting drug free for several years and got to the point where i found myself not enjoying it. If i broke a record i was on top of the world but failure in the gym would put me in a horrible mood towards everybody. I actually find myself trying to lean that way towards my shooting. I ended up tearing a bicep which put me out for a while. Maybe its some sorta compulsive disorder. Sometimes i would actually avoid doing a certain lift out of fear i wouldnt do as good before and i knew how it would bring me down. I took a layoff and when i came back i felt great. Sometimes i start to get the same way towards shooting. If i go out and im not doing as good as before it would get me down. Im finally realizing what the real important things are in life (wife,kids,health) and the other is for fun.

Houngan, Ive read where it is impossible for the human eye to completely focus on two objects at once. Your description sounds like what i have been doing. I see both but at close range have been focusing more on the target. I have never been able to clearly see both at the same time. So far it has worked but im wondering how much better i can be if i can practice the other way. The dry firing practice has helped. It seems its just a matter of training the eyes. Im working it both ways, i figure it never hurts to have more tools on the belt.
