After hours of shooting and adjusting my form and then hours of repeating said form I went back to making adjustments to the rest and nock point. I’m certain there will be some unknown when there is actual game in front of me but I will continue to practice my form over the next three days as much as I can.

It took me 6 sheets of paper to get here, another dozen or so shots with the only variation being where on the paper I hit.

It can probably be dialed in a little more but I’m gonna give it a couple days and then paper shoot before the big day. The results of that will determine if I’m hunting with the recurve or the compound.

If you followed my hunt last year you know my ambush spot will give me a shot inside of 10yds.

I want to thank everyone for their input. Feeling pretty good about the adjustments I have made. Can’t remember who posted the “paper guide” and then took it down but I screen shot it while it was up and it helped tremendously.
