string slap and aiming

<< < (5/8) > >>

Josh:
yeah... tilt/cant the bow around 45 degrees... helped my shooting alot.  also makes the arrow sit on your knuckle/rest better too  :)

aero86:
ill have to try that.  so i should keep my bow arm in line with the arrow, but bend my elbow slightly, cant the bow a bit?  ill try it all.  seems like being my elbow will reduce my draw length ive been hitting..

Hillbilly:
I haven't worn an arm guard in years, except in the wintertime to keep coat sleeves out of the way. I just worked on my form until it didn't slap my arm. Canting the bow helped me tremendously with accuracy. I can't hit a thing straight up and down. I often shoot with the bow almost horizontal. You just have to shoot and it'll start to come together eventually. I think I unconciously sight down the arrow without really realizing it, kind of the Howard Hill split-vision thing.

aero86:
theres an archery range close to me.  maybe i need to just go there and see if i can blank bale..

aero86:
well, i think ive got this figured out to a point.  canting the bow a bit help and opening up my stance a bit helped too.  definitely have to remember on every shot to just let go, dont pluck, throws it off everytime.  now its coming down to my equipment.  i need to get the right spined arrows for this thing.  the one with the feathers coming off, shoots the best!  haha.  but anyways, thanks for the pointers guys!
