    I actually do a free-floating serving so that I can adjust as I need to and slide one or the other free-floating servings to adjust for peep torque

    That is the most retarded thing I have ever heard of. Why wouldn’t you want the deer to die a quick death. I don’t understand that I won’t be able to sleep over these idiots what the hell are they thinking!! But you can’t go wrong with the ole muzzy!

    I rifle hunted last year a few times just to get out there. I had just regained enough strength to hold a regular bow and shoot low poundage when it retore. I have a bunch of gennisis bows i train the Girl Scouts with I'll have to start with one of them first but nt ready yet. They warned me it would take much longer on a retear. There's not a snowballs chance in hell I can even think of doing my regular job yet. Autobody and painting along with welding and fab work is alot of shoulder work

    As long as it works that's all that matters. If your shooting a release with a D-loop the D-loop should control peep alignment

    I agree...Some of it has to do with antiquated laws. You cant even use lighted nocs...not that it really matters for that but mechanicals have come a long way. When I was living in MD I could use mechanicals and shot a nice spike with a rage 2 blade and it wasnt hard to track the deer which only made it maybe 30yds. My wife shot a different spike with a crossbow, died within 20 seconds...

    Thanks, it was pretty hard at first, not being able to shoot, but it is what it is. It just gives me more time to spend with the truck

    Your D-loop doesn't control peep alignment? It should unless it needs to be tightened more. It's hard to just talk about this stuff. If I had it in my hands it's easier to explain unless you have some different setup IDk

    I wish they'd have done that to me. From what the doc told me it heals much faster than what he had to do. He says with no labrum left and multiple tears plus all the arthrittis the only way I'll ever be pain free is with a total replacement until then I get to live with it

    As you know as a string goes through it’s ages the twist will turn and change, that’s why the D loop start to change and isn’t pointed directly back like it started, by free-floating the servings I can pull them up and down and keep the peep in timing with out changing the position of the people itself , it really is the superior your way a peep should be served.

    I will make sure I say first and foremost there is no such thing as pain-free with my shoulder replacement, I can definitely assure you of that and My Wife would vouch for now three years later and the day to day aggressive pain that I go through. It sounds like it sucks to hell and back for both of our Procedures
