Learning to shoot arrow on right side?

<< < (2/4) > >>

DC:
Just curious, why do you think it would be more accurate? I wonder if the time spent learning to shoot off the right would be better spent improving shooting off the left. Off the left has worked for many archers for many years. (I know, that's a poor reason) You get guys like Lars that (probably) shoot off the right more to increase their firing rate than anything. You have to remember that guys of that caliber could probably outshoot most of us using any style at all so copying him may not be the way for the average archer.

I was thinking that by eliminating the front guide finger would get rid of some inaccuracies from the arrow and finger hitting

Pat B:
Once you release the arrow it shouldn't touch the bow at all. Archers paradox bends the shaft around the bow. Properly spined arrows get around the bow easily if spined properly  If you shoot European style, with your fingers but on the right side of the bow(right handed) you will probably have to have arrows with weaker spine to compensate the fingers releasing towards the bow instead of away from it like if shot off the left side. With your fingers releasing to the left it is less work for the arrow to get around the bow.
 I think the trick is properly spined arrows for you and the bow and consistency by the shooter with each shot.

I usually had to aim to the left with the arrowhead, but that's probably not a good way to do it... had rather poor accuracy. With thumb ring. Maybe you need weaker spine with pinch if they go to the right. I'm thinking it may be best to aim with the edge of the handle and with the string at shorter draw lengths, or just do instinctive and make sure everything (arms, back, ...) is lined up well.
am not a good shot, definitely interested in this since I mostly shoot thumb ring, right side and want to improve my accuracy. Some people using this style are very accurate though..

punch:
I shoot like this for reference.
