Bow shooting fundamentals
Looking forward to seeing what you teach us in this section. I get my bow back from the pro shop in about a week and I am looking forward to starting up a practice schedule and taking a few lessons, so I get my basics right and do not ingrain or practice a bad habit 1000 times and ingrain it! I also wanted to ask you what is the release you are using, I saw on your video that you adjusted the trigger release so that your fingers fit is now using way more of the finger as opposed to just the first part of the finger- and I saw the wrist has a dial that tightens up better than the one I use which has a belt type with spaced notches, I think yours is much better and I may want to invest in one like yours.

@Casey Zander I went to Amazon and they sell it with a few strap choices. But they also have a video of the inventor and his story of how he got into making them.

I used to belong to Gold's gym that was really close to home, but they closed the location and there is Planet Fitness but it reminds me of a cheap ghetto Walmart! They are building a new gym by my office from a company called Chuze that might be a much more inspirational place. I agree I should be at the gym- but the leg strength for going out on a long hunt and if you get a deer- good luck in getting that back to the truck ! The conditioning for being out in the sun is also important. I am making this a must.
Archery Targets
I went to Cabella's Sporting Goods store and picked up my first targets so I can set up a small practice area in my backyard.

Fitness is an issue
I noticed how sore my upper back got next day after I first shot only about 12 arrows. I moved my dumbbells and their rack to my office so I can be sure to get some reps in daily. I waited until Rogue Fitness had a big sale and I ordered them, got the rack from Titan Fitness for a decent deal. The weights do not fit perfectly on the rack but it works. Will incorporate the shoulder press and rows you mentioned to strengthen this pretty weak area of my body. Nothing like a really good gym, but I learned from COVID Lockdown to start to invest in building up a home gym I can use.

Hoyt Bow pictures
Casey wanted some photos of my Hoyt bow, so here are a few. I picked this one out because of the light weight, it felt good when I picked it up. I want to go to Cabella's this week and get a few targets and set up a practice area in the back yard. Open to suggestions on setting up a backyard practice area!

No it is not yet sighted in, I need to find the tapes they gave me and have them help me at 20 yards out since I want to get decent at that yardage first. My first group was going low and right a bit. But I think I may have been using the trigger release wrong as pointed out on your video where you had it pushed to the upper most part so your whole finger was able to help. I like the fastener ratchet tightener that yours has. I will upgrade soon, but want to get some targets and some more arrows made.
