Yes is my answer.
I have been experimenting with different equipment, shot processes, and practice routines for years. Through all of these trials, I never nailed down what equipment fit me and I never developed a plan for success.
I always told myself that experiencing different equipment and processes would help me relate to my customers and share the issues they were dealing with. In reality, I formed a horrible case of target panic and couldn't shoot a target face for almost a year.
Recently I gave Gary Neal a call and he was willing to travel to me. We spent two days together working on my shot and I gained a new confidence that if I do my part, the arrow will find it's mark. He helped me build a shot and practice process that gives me the confidence that I was lacking.
Sometimes we fall into the trap of that new bow or release will be the answer. In reality, we need to fix ourselves and I believe that an investment in a good coach will take you farther than the latest and greatest in equipment.
Gary's common sense and keep it simple approach is only surpassed by his work ethic.
I may never compete on the pro tour but, archery is fun again.
Gary is on facebook and you can see his page at G's Coaching.

2014 Duel on Delmarva
Whitetail Outpost's 3'rd annual fundraiser was a success.
With the help from Nanticoke Sportsman's Club, volunteers and the archery community, we were able to donate just over $3,400 to the National Kidney Foundation.
The weather and fellowship made this a wonderful day.
Thank You!

Thanks to NC 100 Archers and Whitetail Outpost shooters at the DE state IBO tournament.
We had a blast at the Delaware state 3D tournament. Those guys really know how to set up a course.
It was nice to see familiar faces having fun with a bow in their hand.
I'm amazed that every time I meet someone new at a shoot, they are always nice and willing to help in any way. Archery is a wonderful community of people.
Congratulations to shop shooters Danny Calloway for taking 2nd place and Bart Shortall with a 4th place finish. Mr. David Boyd shot outstanding in the Master Senior division and I'm proud of the way these guys represent Whitetail Outpost.

Bart represents Whitetail Outpost in PA.
Bart Shortall was able to manage a tough 3D coarse in Schwenksville, PA. Bart said that the terrain, footing and stretched targets made the IBO World Qualifier at Limerick Bowmen a challenging shoot.
Congratulations on a well deserved 1st place finish!
