The new arrow rest rules.

I had maybe two months of off/on Left (dominant) wrist pain. It started before I could try out a new type of arrow rest I'd put on my bow. I've been healed up about 3 weeks now and finally got enough time (and more bales of hay-thanks Alex!!) to try it out. At about 12 yards I pegged an empty water bottle 4 times out of 9 shots which is good for me since I rarely shoot, it was windy, several arrows have lame vanes ('feathers'), I don't use sights, and shoot via bare finger release. If I could consistently shoot like that at 25yards without wind I'd be stoked. Gwen was excited to get her bow and shoot as well. It was fun having her along, especially of her own choosing. One day she will easily drill that bottle from farther away than her old man.
