About Me & Us
- Corey B. James, "the Original Weatherbyman"
- I have been engineering cutting-edge hunting rifles and components since 1996... Known as "the Original Weatherbyman", makers of custom Weatherby Rifles. Now we also customize archery products! My passion is to develop some of the fastest weapons made. We assist bow manufactures starting out with state-of-the-art designs (theirs!) We improve and build custom release aids, sights, grips and other goodies to eliminate 100% bow torque advantage over the competition. We engineer trick devices in T6061 and Carbon Fiber extreme-special one-up designs only available at WCG, Inc.

... this shot was almost spiritual ... like willing the arrow to the target by thought when in fact that is what happened!
Hey all... a good friend of mind dropped by today and just amazing what good muscle tone, eye-hand co-ordination can do if the brain doesn't screw it up by over thinking the situation. :)
I walked out back to about 55 - 60 yds, I don't really know exactly stopped counting past 160 feet, it was 50-something, stood there looking at the 23" target with a 3" orange circle in the upper left, visualized the shot, drew the bow, set-anchored, continued to visualize the arrow flight, corrected the trajectory, settled in, commenced executing trigger move to the release, and then suddenly the arrow was gone after the end of my exhale breathing cycle as if by magic!
... dead center shot (well ok, 1/2" high from center on a 3" spot at 53+ yards :)
... How does that happen? I have no idea how the brain actually anticipates or does the affirmation but it works!!! it JUST DOES! ... practice, form, more practice ... its amazing what you can do with positive affirmations and in competing with yourself and not someone else or trying to be faster, bigger or even more accurate... be accurate to make YOU happy is what makes for positive experiences. One could say "dumb-luck" and well yeah at that distance, I believe that accounted for 90% of the shot! :)

Sometimes, I think all the gadgets on the market get into the way of how the brain, eye-hand co-ordination works -- and "minimalization" sometimes is a very good thing especially with a well tuned bow.
Oh, I forgot to mention .. it was with a bow I did not own 1/2" off my draw length (short), no peep and no kisser just front sight and a crappy cobra release (his) :) He wanted tuning advise with his bow... I handed it back and said, "no-charge, looks good to me" :)
