Finally today the weather was good enough (30 degrees) and I didn't have to work, that I got to shoot my new Martin. What an experience it was. A friend of mine was giving me pointers and helping me learn the basic art of the recurve. I was doing ok at first, but then I started to focus more on my anchor point being the same every shot and that seems to really help. There are so many little details that are SO different from the compound bow that I didn't realize. Even after one traditional shooting lesson, I have a greater respect for those of you that shoot traditionally!! I want to say thanks for all the adivce from your experienced guys and any more is greatly appreciated!
Do yourself a favor and get "Masters of the Bare Bow 3" from 3rivers. It has a wealth of information in it from 2 of the best trad shooters, Rod Jenkins and Larry Yien, on form, release etc. http://www.3riversarchery.com/Books...3+Save+$10!_c42_s33_p173_i7032-4_product.html Looks like they are selling V2 and V3 together. V1 and V2 are ok but the best info is in V3 But it's good to hear your enjoying the start of your Trad experience
Damn right It Is Russ!! I remember when I 1st starting shooting these bows seriously. I didn't want to quit shooting/practicing during a session but I had too as I was getting a little wore out.
Great to hear you're enjoying your Trad experience , its addictive ain't it . I sold everything compound lastyear and have not regretted the decision once , have fun .
PM iamyourhuckleberry. He has my Masters of the Bare Bow III DVD (Signed by Rod!). If he's finished with it....he has my permission to send it to you. You can return it in a bit. Great advice, Russ.
