Wow I sucked. Shot a 297. I really struggled with technique tonight. Am now shooting the 40# limbs. George thinks my arrow flight looks really good though.
So, I can't afford to dick around holding the shot after the clicker goes off. Like the book says, 7 or 8 seconds is it then I need to let down if its not coming together. Also, in order to comfortably increase back tension and have the clicker release with the correct draw, I need to place the draw hand more precisely. I found I need to pull from the first joint, not the pads. Pulling from the pads feels weaker and results in my having to contort in order to pull enough shaft to release the clicker arm. This makes getting a good release a little more difficult. I found I was plucking the string a bit, sometimes down and sometimes out. I need to practice the former bits, then keep good form while increasing back tension keeping the elbow up and relaxing the fingers.
Equipment issues.
Locknut on plunger keeps coming loose.
Tip weights coming loose.
Stabilizer coming loose at riser.
Left side rod too close, need an extension.
Training notes.
Still haven't gotten on the bike this winter. I'm running more often but not quite regular enough. Saturday I ran for an hour straight (4.2 miles). Tonight was a bust at fencing so I did 2.75 miles when we got home (~35 minutes)

New Year Results
The other guy that shoots at 5 took two weeks off, so tonight was my first night back since before Christmas. I'm using a clicker now as well as a jbar and side rods. I had the clicker set up too long for my draw length so I had to dick around quite a bit to get it in a more comfortable spot. I also had a miserable time settling my sight picture and I blew many releases. I had one really crazy flier high on center in the 2 ring. Shot 345.
