Please Help My Accuracy! (video)
Pat B:
I agree with these guys about not holding at full draw too long. I release when I hit anchor and if I find myself getting sloppy I'll hold for a second or so but not long at all.
PAHunter:
@Pat: definitely will do, thanks!
@Paul: thanks man. Can you tell I come form compound shooting? :D I hold long, always have. I've shot some bows many thousand times that way and they are doing just fine. I try not to do it until the bow and tiller is done though. no doubt I stress wood more than most but I think a well made bow levels off at some point.
@aaron: yep, I'm in the process of making a primitive bow sling for my wrist (if such a thing exists :). I may use leather and an antler piece. It will catch the bow. I hate having to do it after the shot as you noted. thanks!
crooketarrow:
DO YOU TRY TO REMEMBER ALL OF THAT EACH SHOT. Just shoot ,do what comes natural. Thats where it's at if you want to have fun shooting.
If you wish to improve get a judio and take a couple long walks.
Have some fun shooting instead of trying to impress the group behind you.
Do this you might hit the next buck you shoot at.
Pat B:
Once you've taught your body and muscles the form and routine needed to shoot a bow let your brain take over that part of your shooting and you just concentrate on right where that arrow will go. It's that concentration that is the hard part.
PAHunter:
@crooketarrow lol no. I do blind/blank bale work to work on form. My primary shot thought is aiming though I do think stance, back tension, follow through at some less conscious level.
As for having fun, heck ya I do! ;D I'm a computer nerd so being analytical in the range is fun to me. Learning how it works on a technical level. Though I'm constantly stalking through the woods on grandpa's farm without my shirt chasing every stump, bug, and critter that moves!
I have no hate for those who are less analytical than me about it. Everyone should attack it how they enjoy the most. But that is part of my enjoyment. :P ;D
