Please Correct My Anchor Position

<< < (4/4)

Carson (CMB):
Once you get comfortable shooting, work on getting some arrows matched to that bow.  It makes a world of difference. and as others pointed out, self bows are generally touchier to arrow spine.  As for anchor, do what feels most comfortable, but it sounds as though you still want to get that arrow up near your eye, which tempts the aiming down the arrow syndrome.  When you golf, do you aim? When you shoot a basketball, do you aim? When you move your mouse, do you aim? The answer is no. You just look where you want it to go.  Practice does the rest.

H Rhodes:
I agree with CMB about getting your arrows properly spined to match your bow.  Throw in a proper brace height and string nock position and you are well on your way.  I was seeking something simpler to tune when I went traditional but, actually there are some fundamentals that can't be overlooked.  I was surfing the web a while back and came across a fantastic article on bow tuning which I think you might find useful... I know I did.  OL Adcock's Custom Bows website and click on "bow tuning".  There is a lot of good info there.
