Off the hand

(1/4) > >>

DC:
Hopefully I don't open a can of worms here. When you're using an arrow pass and string nock you are guaranteed a repeat arrow position. How do you get that repeatability when shooting off your knuckle? Do you still use a string nock? If so how do you know your knuckle is in the same spot?

JoJoDapyro:
I still use a string knock, handle position tells me if my hand is right.

Pat B:
I shoot new bows without a string nock. I can feel the string tension on my fingers as I draw telling me everything is even. I do use a floppy rest so arrow placement on the bow is always the same.

Urufu_Shinjiro:
Shooting manchu style here, I do use a string knock and as far as knuckle position goes any of the asian styles of archery hand position/grip is really important so just by making sure I'm using proper bowhand grip I'm in the same position every time.

bradsmith2010:
when you are shooting through a chrono,, with no clicker or mark on the arrow,, and your get duplicate fps consistently ,, how does your body do that,, its amazing,, to draw the bow to that exact length and exact release,,,
its a little the same shooting off the hand,, you feel the balance of the bow and you duplicate the shot,,I have made alot of bows and had to shoot them in no rest or nocking point,,,and would shoot consistently,,, it may not be as consistent as a rest with nocking point,, but it can be very consistent,,I do use a glued on leather for an  arrow rest on my hunting bows,, but would not hesitate to shoot a bow with no rest or nocking point for hunting if need be,,  :)
