Good shootin' Ex! What kind of bow are you shooting? I have shot leagues in the past and it is a blast. It will make everyone a much more confident and accurate bowhunter without question. One of these days when I get more time I would really like to get back into it, its a blast. I would recommend it to anyone!!!

After taking off a few years from archery(college got in the way) I started shooting again this last year. I shoot league in Hutchinson and have a 59.75X average on the NFAA 5 spot. My tournament scores are averaging 56-57X's due to tournament pressure and nerves. I have to learn to hold steady again in tournament situations.

For indoors I shoot a:
Hoyt Protec w/LXPRO limbs set at 60 lbs
NAP QT 3000 arrow rest
X7-2613 arrows and 200 grain points
HT 2000 release
Bull's Eye PRO scope w/NUVIS lens and a ring for aiming
Toxonics Naildriver sight
5 Star Genesis stabilizer
Custom backweight
This bow helped me win 4th place in the championship flights at Las Vegas this last February.

For outdoors:
Hoyt Ultratec w/XT3000 limbs at 55 lbs
NAP QT 3000 arrow rest
ACC 3-49 arrows w/ 2" duravanes
Bull's Eye PRO scope w/NUVIS lens and a dot for aiming
Sureloc challenger sight
5 Star Genesis stabilizer
Custom backweight

On outdoor fields last summer at our NFAA field course I was shooting a 556 average with the Ultratec.

Thanks Exudedude

After shooting 50X's I had to work on small form issues. When first starting archery I was using my forearm and biceps and too many other muscles to name. I found in archery I needed to remove as many muscles as possible to steady up the sight picture. After that it was completely mental. I've had friends poke me in the back with an arrow while I was at full draw... I was concentrating so hard on the center of the X that I never realized they did it until they told me after the shot!!! Your mind is the biggest thing to overcome in tournament archery... if it wonders and thinks about other things besides the dead center of that X you are in for a dissapointing day.

Is anyone going to shoot the MSAA state tournament in a few weeks?

I am very willing to help people in archery either hunting, shooting for fun, or for tournament shooting. As time permits I have also done some coaching 1 on 1 at our local archery range. If anyone has questions just let me know and I will help out the best I can.

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
