    Hey all, I was a self taught bow hunter in high school but took a long break for school and such and am getting back into it on a budget (exhibit a my ugly home made blank bale). I picked up a PSE Evo EVL 34 with EC cam on the classifieds as well as Hamskea hunter hybrid rest and truball hinge...

    Does anyone have any shooting drills for the off season? limited to 20 yds in my basement for the winter and was curious if there is anything anyone does outside the normal shooting/repetition. something that improves precision and accuracy.

    Does anyone have a suggestion for how to learn basic safety and technique for newbies? I didn't see a forum on this site but may have missed it.

    Ever since I’ve been into archery, one of my biggest issues is the tendency, no matter how hard I try not to do it, I sometimes move/tilt my riser, just so slightly and try to see the arrow and where it hits the target when I release. More often then none, I totally missed the desired arrow...

    I'll have to check Total Archery, Inside the Archer, but watching Jake and Brady shoot and hearing the commentators, has Lee modified his technique? Specifically, is he advocating drawing back from the side of the face, then bringing in to anchor? I know he really likes to emphasize angular...

    When I'm doing target practice at 20 yards, I hit to the right of the bullseye almost every time. My fiancé has adjusted my sights and it helped a little, but it's still going to the right most of the time. When I practice at 10 yards, I do much better at getting it in the center. I am...

    Style is olympic recurve. These are the observations I've made from experimenting. If you are more knowledgeable about which technique is better, I'd like to hear from you. For the longest time I've been using the following facial reference (I'm right-handed): black widow finger tab w/ plastic...

    I've been shooting for about 6 weeks now, and I feel like I'm a pretty bad shot. Going by NFAA scoring at 20 yards, I'm lucky to break 140. My shots are all over the place, and I figure I'm doing something not quite right, but I don't know what it is. So I recorded myself taking some shots, and...

    As your shooting form improves and your equipment and bow are upgraded, arrows are thinner, do you still need a 2in blazer or AAE pro hunter vane to control arrow flight or can a smaller vane be used as less correction is needed because of better technique, and still be accurate? If so how small...

    I've recently started shooting olympic recurve at a local club. I shot for awhile without a clicker. I just got my arrows in and started using a clicker. I'm having problems consistently drawing. Sometimes my clicker goes off before I've reached my normal anchor spot and other times it reaches...

    Hi all, I'm new to the forum and have been shooting a compound bow for about 3 years now. I have improved a great deal in that time but know I can still be much better. Here is a video of me shooting recently. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! To give you an idea of where I'm at...

    I've been trying to really perfect my shooting technique and was watching a Larry Wise video on hand position. My question is where should you feel the pressure of the bow when your drawing and at full draw, the top of the hand or at the bottom with the wrist almost broken down. When I draw my...

    Hi, I've been shooting archery for about 7 years now with much success and some breaks in between. I recently decided to commit myself to the sport (i.e. dedicated practice, research and time to the sport). I would like to start out on the best foot possible, so I was wondering. Is there such...

    Okay I had always thought my draw length was measured from the where the nock meets the string to one inch beyond the end of bow. I was in a pro shop yesterday and they told me draw length was just until the end of the bow? Now I use a both a Martin Hatfield takedown and a Longbow no compounds...

    These are quotes from an old thread I've been looking through. My question is: How are clickers and sights used to train a barebow shooter? (Presumably draw length consistency and aiming?? ) As a barebow practioner myself I'd like to know so as to try to improve my technique. TIA.

    I was browsing the web looking for information about Mr. Darell Pace and I found one of his quotes regarding his shooting technique: Gold medalist Pace calls this concentrated effort, “lashing the body to the bow.” How would you explain this phrase? What do you think he means by that?
