Who hold their arrows?
« on: April 04, 2009, 07:38:40 pm »
Many native peoples including Ishi carried a couple arrow in his bow hand. I like doing this, it gives you quick access  to diffent types of arrows and quick follow up shots.
Does anyone else do this when hunting or just shooting?

l also hold my arrows when hunting, even when l use to hunt with a compound bow. Quivers are nice but they always got hung up in thick brush or branches when l stalked.

 Usually when I'm crawling or on the Stalk. I'll shuck my quiver and take one arrow in my hand and one on the bow.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Thats how I do it too.

 When I go to shoot, I'm usually lifting up into a kneeling position. So I lay the extra arrow on the ground. I shoot,  duck and reload.

I carry my arrows in my bow hand, points up.  I can walk through the woods and the arrows are pointed forward so I don't have to worry about the feathers getting torn up.  I have yet to find a quiver that works to my satisfaction cause the arrows are sticking up and the feathers get all torn up.

was trying to shoot with an arrow in bow hand the other night. I do it sometimes but each time I do I have the bow crack into the arrow in the bow hand and it is really loud not to mention it sounds like the bow is snapping in 2.
Must be the way I hold the arrow right in front of the bow.

You guys holding it to the side or something?
