Shot for two hours today

<< < (2/3) > >>

johnston:
You might try canting the bow a bit more. But also, I don't see the harm in the finger crook method if you
are consistant with it. I try to correct one element of form at a time and might shoot a thousand arrows
really focusing on that one thing.  Have also found that I cannot shoot accurately while working on form.
Much better to not worry where the arrow hits until your form, all components, is good.

I don't pay attention to spine or weight until I am satisfied that my actions are smooth enough not to
throw the shot. From there on, for me, it just takes repetition. A lot of it. I mean a whole bunch. Talking
about years.

Hopefully I'll be able to do this for years and years.  I VERY much enjoyed the time I spent on it today. 2 hours felt like 5 minutes.

jonathan creason:
I'm far from an expert on shooting, but I highly recommend checking out the Masters of the Barebow series.  Get the foundation right from the start and you won't have any bad habits to un-learn later.

I prefer to shoot off the knuckle and none of my bows have rests. Cant your bow to the side and use the very tips of your fingers to pull the string with a straight hand. The knuckle provides a very wide "self" compared to most cut in shelves so if you are having trouble, you have something to correct in your form ... Check out youtube, and various books and dvds and like others said, learn right the first time!!!! It is much easier to learn something right than try to unlearn it. Good luck and shoot straight.

Nidhoggr:
What books would you reccomend? I will definitely check out MotB.
