Accuracy of long bows vs. short bows

<< < (3/3)

benjamin:
I tipically make my bows from 54'' to 60'' for my 25'' draw and I can consistantly hit a 5'' circle at 20 yards. On that note, I made a 45'' bow 50 lbs at 20'' and at 20 yards only miss maybe 1 in 20 shots at the same target. I shoot instinctive with no hold but release as soon as I feel my wrist on my chin (with my short bow). I firmly believe that my "anchor point" allows me to shoot that acurately with much less practice than I would like (collage and all). I say that if you have an anchor point, you can shoot long or short with no problem.

carpenter374:
More stack in shorter bow draws causes instability in the bow hand and causes torque on the release. Shorter bows are less forgiving of torque for balance reasons afforementioned by others.
