I'm currently shooting a Tru Spot lens with a 6X center on it. What I've noticed is that at times I will develope tension in the forearm of my bowarm. When I'm nice and relaxed I don't have this problem as often. I'm thinking it is cuz when the pin isn't settleing exactly where I want I begin trying to force it there. Does anyone else experience this and will going to a lower magnification lens help with this? I'm going to go down to a 2X as soon as it gets here. I'm hoping that by going to the lower magnification, things will not move quite as much, thus steadying my sight picture and thus my tendency to have to "control" my sight will go away and I will be more likely just to let the dot float there all on its own. Any thoughts?

Anyone?

Does that sound like that is the cause of the tension in my bow arm? Cuz I've noticed when I get the tension in the arm if I end up firing the shot I can pretty much guarantee it isn't going to hit the X. I'm trying to eliminate the bow arm tension

No matter how much I stare at the X, when the pin is not settling down the tension in my bow arm starts up immediately. The X is perfectly clear for me and dot is slightly fuzzy. It also happens at shoots/tourneys, when things start to seem important that is when the tension in the arm starts up. For example, last week I was just shooting down at the club and I told myself don't worry about the score or how the pin is sitting one bit. Out of the 1st 42 arrows 41 were in the X. After that I started thinking about how good things were going and I instantly started becoming concerned about how much movement I was seeing and ended up dropping 5X's in the next 4 ends.

A few weeks ago I was shooting my hunting bow at the spot targets and noticed how my bow arm was tension free the whole time. This whole arm tension thing is starting to drive me nuts, so I'm really hoping the lens power reduction will help cure things.
