Front sight and archery

[Freepistol]

I was invited to go on an Archery Elk hunt in CO next Sept. so I decided to take a lesson to get used to shooting a mechanical release {I've shot fingers for over 40 years}. One problem I see is that once I get the sight pin on the target, I'm supposed to look at the target only and not the pin. Gosh, I hope it doesn't wreck my pistol shooting!

I shot some AP after the last two archery sessions and I seem to concentrate better on the front sight now. We'll see after a few months.

I really hope I don't get mixed up and send an arrow into the bullet trap!

At what distance do you shoot your indoor practice arrow? 15m? 20m? or less for practice?

What poundage are you using for indoor training? 20lbs or much more?

I shoot on my 10m AP range and the bow is on 59 lbs. I have the option of going to 16m if I stand in my garage. I'm debating if I need a longer draw length. I can't seem to get comfortable with an anchor point.

After a month of shooting the bow and very little shooting of the AP and no Free, I can't get used to the trigger on the archery mechanical release. I did get a different bow because the draw length was short an inch. I also went to 70 lbs. I now shoot the bow using my middle finger on the trigger because I could not get used to such a crappy trigger compared to my pistols.
