Yep! After a little BBCode tweaking....

Steve, yeah, sorry about that...
I was shooting so well with it out to 20m, I was pretty stoked. One of those bows you just point and shoot.
No wonder they are raving about them.

Just wondering does the bow quiver make it unbalanced to shoot straight or doesnt it make a diference?

Does not seem to effect my shooting, but I have heard that others have cut the posts down (as supplied with the quiver) to bring it in closer to the riser and it has helped them. I like tha added weight out to the side, but I guess it is what you are use to.

Hi Guy, What weight were you shooting when you were having the target panic? I have found spending some time with a lighter bow benificial for combating the problem. Is the Dorado draw weight adjustable? Steve

Nev, yes, I know, shes a modern beast!
Steve, I think that I have always had the problem to be honest, but only just recently doing something about it, or accepting it, one or the other. The Dorado is not adjustable. I have the problem with any poundage, but I am combatting it better with heavier poundage, which is away from the norm I guess. I suppose I feel more comfortable with a heavier draw weight (for me) around the 55/56# mark. Mind you, I only seem to have it at the target butt, not in the field. I shoot a lot better stump shooting than on targets. More adrenaline maybe.

I have never shot one of those Guy. I once owned a Gamemaster 1. Fast bow! Radical looking however...
I like the Dorados 'common' look when it comes to Recurve design.
Extremely light package too!
Oh yeah, glad you made it mate! Welcome!

Good looking bow mate, Hoyt know what their doing I think. Better not lay it down in the bush or you'll never find it!
I'll have to come down for a test run!
