Since I'm not able to hunt this season as much as I'd like, I'm focusing my attention to my shooting and becoming a better archer. Today I filmed myself shooting (see video). I shoot a Mathew's HeliM, 29" draw set at ~64#. When reviewing the film i noticed the bottom of the bow jumps forward (or maybe the top kicks back). This doesn't seem to affect my accuracy or consistency. When reviewing youtube film of others shooting a HeliM, I noticed that not all archers have the same experience. Is this a problem and is there something I should do to fix this? Shot Analysis - YouTube
I think to a degree every bow has a certain way it reacts after the shot which is partially depends on your grip...that may be just the way your bow reacts when shot.
Looks like normal 1 cam reaction to me. You could get a front weighted stabilizer to lesten it and it might even help you settle the pin. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
I think it is fine but as others have said if it bothers you try a stabilizer with weight at the end and see if that helps.
I agree with the stabilizer addition. There are several on the market that have adjustable weights for them.
It doesn't bother me that this is a dynamic of my shot. I wasn't aware of it until I closely reviewed the video. My concern was that something in my set up might be out of tune, some grip or posture I should adjust, or something that I could control within my interaction with the bow. I've never had any formalized instruction on how to shoot a bow except a few pointers given at the shop and from my brother. I have thought of a stabilizer, maybe I'll be looking closer into that addition.
It looks normal to me but for the heck of it; check the tiller. Do this by running a small string from axle to axle and then measyre from the point the limb exits the limb pocket to the string. Do this in top and bottom and adjust limbs until they are the same. Secondly, make sure the rotation is right on the cam. There is a timing hole in the cam that the cable should bisect. If those 2 things are good, then there are no issues. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
As far as the firm and shooting goes, that looks really good. If I were picking nits, it looks as though you have too much palm in the grip. But it is hard to tell from the video. Here is a video that will help with that. Remember the grip should be adjusted before you draw the bow. http://www.bowtube.com/media/6/get_a_grip/ Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
