alright ladies and gentleman, I'm always striving to be a better shot so just wanted to ask for feedback on what has made you a better shooter over the years? practice is the obvious one. maybe switching releases? maybe shooting with both eyes open? you catch the drift. just curious to read your replies and maybe implement some of your knowledge into my own routine.
1) Going through the same exact motions with every shot. 2) Floating my pin to center. 3) Not over-shooting. Gives you bad habits.
Do the same thing shot after shot. Tune your bow. Concentrate on the pin, not the target. Tune your bow. Have fun.
Age practicing out of a setup like I hunt out of. modern releases single pin sight not over practicing
Bow tuning has been an eye opening process for me. Gives you that much more confidence and confidence is huge Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Practicing little and often and always finishing on a good shot. Sometimes I’ll go outside and shoot one or two arrows and if they go where I want them I call it a day.
Yep I will grab the bow every once in a while, shoot a few. Not anywhere as much as I used to and I shoot just fine.
I find it useful to shoot a few arrows in the garage throughout the winter. It's only a ten yard shot but the practice is for form and muscle memory not for hitting the Bulls eye. Sent from my BBB100-3 using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
what everyone else has said, plus making sure your bow is set to proper draw length. Also strength training. Even a little bit helps.
Dudley's School of Nock - his videos were mentioned but I'll listen to his podcasts and watch the video if it's not clear. Also practicing at further distances as it will expose problems that once corrected usually help at all shorter distances.
1. I practice every Tuesday 2. Same motions every shot 3. 4 finger release or back tension release. (going to that release has done more for my shooting than anything)
That's a great way to become a better shooter, but most/many of us don't have that kind of option. I learned mostly from trial and error over time.
Conscious practice is my big one, as others have stated. Fewer arrows at higher concentration rather than flinging just to fling.
I had to learn myself. Picked up some bad habits that way. I finally went to a bow shop and had a guy there critique me. I humbly admitted that I probably don’t do any of it right. He agreed! I established two anchor points and he helped me with my stance. 3 years later and I’m shooting a lot better. So you might get a better archer than you to watch you shoot. They may notice something you don’t. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
