New sight and practice PB

Got my new CBE sight sorted out and on my Monster. Its really solid and looks the business. Need to get the 1st/2nd/3rd Axes sorted out.

Shot a lot of arrows at the weekend. Shot a timed 3 doz @ 30m and put in a paltry 353. Was not happy so did at again, this time 358.

Discovered that due to the heavier sight, the bow was dragging down a bit, so a small amount of extra weight will be needed on the backrod to get the balance back.

Pics of the new sight to be posted soon!

String suppressors - remove and improve your score!

I was given some advice (thanks Ben) about removing the string suppressor off my Monster. I got it second hand and the suppressor came with it, and had been shooting OK with it so never bothered trying without it.

Tried this morning, and after shooting some ends, it looked like the groups had come in a bit. So I shot a timed, 3 doz @ 70m, and stuck in 347 (59/57/59/56/58/58), about 8/9 points over my usual practice scores at this distance, therefore a practice PB.

Apparently these things can affect arrow flight, certainly more than I ever expected.

I also gained some sight mark as well, and no arm slappage which is what I was expecting.

The down side is that there was much more vibration, mainly my knackered old Sureloc rattling away (new sight this week though!).
