string slap and aiming

<< < (2/8) > >>

Kegan:
I anchor with my thumb web under my jaw bone and my index finger is in the corner of the mouth- if you can get your thumb under your jaw it's the easiest way to know that you're arm is in line with the arrow and that you're alignment is at least close.

When it comes to slap, I always shoot with an arm gaurd. I'd need a 6.5" to 7" brace height to not get slapped and I couldn't do that to a wooden bow :D

I shoot with the arrow pointed to the target, moving it up or down for the distance. My focus shifts from more on the target to more on the tip the farthre out I get.

aznboi3644:
I shoot instinctively...I don't look down the arrow anymore.  For me I found that the more I tried to sight down the arrow and concentrate on where I was aiming it the more I got wrist slap.  After a little while I just started to concentrate on the target point and the wrist slap got less frequent and now its gone.

Josh:
^^^^that's kinda what I was trying to say!  ;D

skyarrow:
i try to see where the arrow is going to hit before i shoot it and in most cases it does i just try not to think so much and just do it has always fixed it self with me

PeteC:
Aero,try adjusting your bow arm/hand a little.Try slightly bending your elbow,and roll it under and away from the string.Also,try holding your bow hand where the back of your hand is in line with the top of your arm.I shoot like this and never hit my arm,even at low brace. JMHO.  God Bless
