Looks great!
Bob, Is that vice fastened down with anything more than the bungee?

Bob . . .how far away is your target? Also, when you say "hitting the same spot" . . .is that a 2", 1", .5" group?

Do you see a difference in your POI shooting normally vs. the vise? Seems like the recoil difference might change the POI, does it?

Nice set-up.

Nice setup Bob and fun too I bet. Now you just gotta mount your vise in the proper location and orientation in your blind next season.

Bob,
What is your routine? If an arrow is a little off target, where do you start the adjusting? Are you basically getting ready for a hunt? Setting up a required number of hunting arrows?

I understand the reason for the testing. I would just like some guidance on how you perform the test and the steps you take to tune the arrow.

Must be cool not to aim, just pull the trigger. Eyes closed, no problem. :)

Thanks,

Scott
