I've been playing a game with myself (don't read anything into that) when I practice. If I miss twice, I take a step forward...If I hit three times I take a step backward. My thinking is that it keeps challenging me and forces me to get comfortable at different distances. I start at 10 yards...don't give me any grief about that, please...I'm new at this and my eyes are old. Well...yesterday, I found myself further away than ever and I measured it at twenty yards. Now, I know that, for many of you, this is probably considered an easy distance, but I'm actually a little proud of it.
I'm making my own 1632 shooters with 550 cord and they are, if not pretty, at least less ugly than they were.
