Does anyone roll the string as they draw the bow.

<< < (2/2)

FAW:
With a deep hook or "hold", it should be a natural phenomena to have the string roll enough to keep the arrow against the sideplate - this is why shooters can fire an arrow upside down and in all sorts of bodily manoevres. This act of "rolling" keeps the serving taught, a flemish string from unwinding and helps stabilize the flight of the arrow. When the release happens, the string just slips away from the relaxed  fingers and takes only a split second to neutralize.

  Thats why you stwist your string tight. FOR FINGES HOLDS THE ARROW IN PLACE.
 At lease mine do.

I have only just started using the Deep Hook Hold (since moveing up from 35# draw to 70# I seem to need a bit more than just my fingertips round the string) but even with just fingertips I have always rolled the string just enough to keep that slight preasure against the "Sideplate/ Arrowpass/ Strikeplate. But it would seem many archers don't know what I am talking about.
One thing I have noticed though is that archers shooting using the Thumb release  shoot off the opposite side of the bow,because the "natural phenomena that you speak of" is reversed by the thumb hooking from the opposite side to the finger do.
Thanks for your viewpoint I'm glad someone knows what I am saying.
