a while back my wife Kim said she wanted a hobby so she has non work to think about when not at the office. even though she had shot for years off and on she never seemed to want to go that route. this has CHANGED!!! she came to me and said she wanted to see how good she could get.
she has been shooting a couple months and is regularly in the 280's she is possibly the best student i have ever had. anyways this has also inspired me to shoot with some purpose.
i had expressed the desire to shoot Trad and recure, but realisticlly i dont have the time to dedicate to instinctive, and i cant practice a 70" Olympic rig in my shop. i never had anything against compound, just the newness of the 'curve was callin'
i have , after having them about a year, decided to really set up my white X pression 3D with proper arrows. i had some 500 Fatboys with 120 upfront. although the increased FOC was noticeable, so was the weakening of the spine so most likely responsible for some out side the line calls. 500 w 80 gr has always tuned well for me and since i dont like messing with my set ups i will use the 3D arrow set up indoors. i have 0 interest in alum x23 etc with 2 million up front. the point of the heavy weight upfront is so you could use a fatter( stiffer) arrow than would normally chart.
since the SPINE charts out about perfect with a 80 g i have no need to increase weight....this has become a fad and people are doing it without the logic being applied.
so long story short.....practice, mental management training and coaching.....repeat.
oh... as a side hobby for myself so i dont burn out i have decided to teach myself bass guitar, i played 6 string for many years but initially wanted to play bass so its new to me. i got a bass mid summer, and recently got a P Bass kit
it came pretty rough and with no holes drilled, headstock like a canoe paddle .
here is the headstock label Gunderfus is my Jazz band KC 4 is for Kim Castle (4 string) and the sn is my anniverasry. from Moe Betta Design off Ebay.
the finished Bass. it feels like a P Bass, sounds like a P Bass and i am in love with it. all it needs is a fret level and crown and it may be perfect. bad new is i had so much FUN building it and seeing it come to life i want to build more. i am considering a Violin style kit or maybe a steinberger headess kit. reason is i want something smaller for vacation etc.
