Form?

(1/2) > >>

Kegan:
Okay, if you're consistent with your slightly off form and release, but practice a great deal, would you still be a worse shot than someone with perfect form who practices a normal amount? Hill's form wasn't perfect but he knew it in and out and practiced it a rediculous amount (somehwere over 600 arrows a day?).

Also, why is it better to shoot a longbow with a slightly bent elbow?

D. Tiller:
Kegan if I did not shoot my warbow with a bent arm I would be putting one heck of a bruse on the arm!

Good reason ;D!

Pat B:
Consistency is consistency! If you are consistent and are a good shot with that, then you should be OK. If you can shoot like Howard Hill, what are you worrying about?  ;D

i once went to a 3d shoot where a guy would throw his arm to the left to watch the shot so noticeably it looked almost graceful as though he shot with a casual curiosity of what th arrow was doing even before it left the bow.  that would ruin my shots, but he did quite well, and had very good groups at 20 yards.  i watched him shoot a lot too, no real bad fliers, and that is with poor followthorugh.  if it is consistent, it will work, but perfect form is hard to beat.  there is a reason why olympic shooters have coaches.
