Problem Sighting in!

Hey, I'm having trouble sighting in my new hoyt nitrum 34. I'm just inaccurate right now. I don't have a bad stance, I just float a crapton. I'm shooting a Nitrum 34, QAD Hoyt edition, Truglo Archer's choice range rover, truglo wrist sling, truglo stabilizer, truglo quiver. The problem is, I need to get this thing sighted in (tapes wise) But even at 20 yards I'm having trouble getting my 20 sighted in because I'm shooting. It may just be that I need to put smaller dots on my big bag target to shoot, they are big circles. I'm a good shot when it comes to hunting, I can shoot quick and under TONS of pressure. Just not very good at sighting the damn things in! Here's a video of me shooting today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzAUb-dTPaQ&feature=youtu.be

 

I'd work on the grip. Letting your bow rest in the V of your hand and then closing it to catch it on release is a horrible practice among other things. Seems like you are in a hurry and never really get settled in. Might also help if you shoot at a smaller target. I'd recommend shooting at something like a red, coke, bottle cap with a golf tee to hold it in place. Aim small... miss small.....

Check out you tube for bow grips. Some do it right and some do it wrong.....

 

Target panic? punching the release and torqing the bow?

 

Take your time, seems like you're rushing your shot. I counted 2 seconds from anchor to release. Take a little more time to settle the pin on the target. Sweet rig btw!

 

Yeah, thanks. I don't hold my shot enough. I never have even with a rifle.

 

I noticed that your grip changes.
You have an open grip and then a more closed grip.
That alone will make for inconsistent shots.
When you splay your hand open it creates muscle tension, try for a relaxed hand.

 

In noticed this too... especially on the third shot. If you have to grab the bow to keep it from falling forward out of your hand you probably need to change your stabilizer. If it's just a habit... you'll simply just have to rid yourself of that.

Consistency is the name of the game. If you anchor and hold differently every time, your arrow will fly differently every time. Hold the release the same and make sure your anchor points are the same every time. I even have marks on the velcro of my release so I'm able to wear it exactly the same every time.

 

That's all grip. When I grip I keep my bow outside the lifeline on my palm. Right at the meaty part of my thumb. Hand totally relaxed and fingers lightly draped over grip. 45 degrees to riser and 90 to arrow.
