I’d like to start a new thread inspired by jitters and vegetarian. We have some very deep talent on this thread (Bish, Roger, Rick just to name a few) and a lot of shooters like me who are struggling but have discovered some things that have helped them to improve.
What has helped you the most? Personally I’ve tried just about everything except personal coaching.
Masters of the barebow helped me get better form and the necessity of putting a bandaid on my nose.
Arnie Moe’s rotational draw helped me discover back tension. Jimmy Blackmon showed me the best technique to learn to gap which I absolutely cannot do. I know that an aiming technique would help my accuracy, bu I can’t for the life of me focus on the tip of the arrow.
As for Rick’s advice of transfer of a spot, I’ve read the book twice and still can’t do it. I know it works. This morning I shot three arrows at a 300 round indoor target at 30 yds. One five and two fours just out of the five. I switch to the 3D deer at 18yds and shoot an 8,5 and 0.
Right now to prepare for tbot my daily practice has been one arrow at 18 yds, one at about 23 and one at thirty. I try to end up with an 8 average. Haven’t been able to do it yet . Best has be 24 8’s and six 5’s. I don’t have ten or twelve rings so it may have been slightly better.
Trad shooters are a tight knit group who generally are willing to help one another, so my hope is that we can get a thread started where we share information that can help all of us become better at our common passion. Need lots of input from you really good shooters. Not to hijack my own post but how in the cornbread h**l do you put a picture on your avatar?
