still can't hit much -- how is my form

<< < (2/7) > >>

TrevorM:
Are you hitting your arm guard? That could be messing you up.

You didn't show the target after, are they just all over or do they tend to go left/right?

DC:
Something that seems to be helping me(a bit) is the last thing I think about is my bow arm, holding it steady and keeping it pointed at the barn.

Pat B:
Try shooting one arrow then retrieve it and shoot again. I find if I shoot groups the other arrows in the target can break my concentration. When hunting you usually only get one shot.

jeffp51:
I just shot about 50 arrows.  I noticed that sometimes the arrow spins smoothly into the target (not necessarily where I want it to) and sometimes the nock seems to spiral around--even though it sometimes still goes where I want it to--could this have something to do with my release?

In the video, I am only shooting at about 10 yards, so they look relatively good in the target--although not right on the bulls eye, and not tightly grouped

Pat B:
Yes and a smooth, consistent release is critical.   ...but do try the one arrow at a time.
