Primitive Shooting Technique
sonny:
simply coincidence ........
JW_Halverson:
Never thought I'd see the phrase "crotch quiver" in a family oriented site like this.
Bryce:
good anchor point against the shoulder stabilizes the draw hand.
anyone else have an unbelievably stronger arm than the other from shooting?
sempertiger i am loving your topics keep it up!
Sempertiger:
I'm trying to figure out what he's anchored against... I don't think it's his shoulder because I can't even touch mine, my bicep gets in the way.
I was thinking that it might be easier to draw a heavy weight bow. Either on a different thread, or somewhere else I was reading, I thought I saw that the Hadza use ruffly 100lb bows. bent over like that allows you to use significantly stronger muscles (lats) than if you are standing upright.

I’m glad to see this thread. And like the photo…good to see people having a good time......
I’ve looked at the videos posted on “Bows”—the Hadza Picture thread—probably a dozen times. My shooting always needs to be improved---So I have tried imitating what I saw as best I could—not with the feet together (which I think is just from using the thigh quiver). My developing problem has been a rising elbow, and discomfort when I cant my bows and lean…. What I see in the video is a lean into the bow with a simultaneous draw—putting their entire body into the draw.….I tried it (as best I could) with a new long bow I just finished (60#@ 26, 70” NTN)..imitating the video—no problem getting to 28 ½ “---also I noticed how they dropped their elbow in line with the arrow at near full draw—to me—it seemed stronger…… the anchor became the knuckle of my thumb touching my nect behind my jaw bone below my ear. That is where they look to be anchoring or their floating anchor is behind and below the ea further back---anything beyond that would show more of their upper neck and/or an area toward the back of their head…….
Also-they don’t have arm guards…just a perception that the angle of the bow arm is different from how I have been shooting-putting the string further away---
I shot probably a couple dozen times-the only muscle tension I had was in my back and not the tops of my shoulders-which has been a recent problem (a problem attributed by young fella’s to their deeply misguided misperception of my advanced age of ~mid 60’s.).... I’m going to try my heavier long bows this afternoon….
Check out the videos what do you guys think????
