LeslieInVA Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Hey everyone, I posted a message yesterday (I think?) about my frustration with having a bow with too much draw weigth. My husband exchanged my Parker Wildfire XP for a Sidekick XP...something about this bow makes me feel like it's suited for me (completely new to archery). I just feel better with it, not to mention I layed the smack down on the Block target my first time shooting it last night. Thanks for all of your help with my old post, and look forward to getting the big one soon! ~Leslie~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiteRunner Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 That's Great! Glad you have one that you can shoot now! Practice up and then get in the woods! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tink Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 The bow maybe smaller & shorter Good Move Tink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeslieInVA Posted October 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Yeah, it's a lot more comfortable to handle, but not EASY, so I'm right where I wanted to be. Apparently you can have the limbs changed to up the weigth. After about 6 target hits, my arm is shaky as a leaf! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Just keep practicing, you'll build up those muscles quicker than you think! Congrats on the new bow!;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrswtnhunt Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Just keep practicing, you'll build up those muscles quicker than you think! Congrats on the new bow!;-) That's what I was going to say. Consistency and lots of practice goes a long way. Just make sure to practice on a regular basis to keep those muscles strong. It might be a good idea to have someone watch you shoot and make sure your form is correct. The best time to correct any issues with form is from the start. Good luck out there.
