Over the last few days I've developed a problem with hitting left of where I'm focusing... (about four inches) I tried everything I could find on this page to fix it with no success! However, today I focused on getting a deeper hook when drawing and it seems to have fixed the problem! Am I crazy or does this make sense?
Torquing the string, putting a counterclockwise force on it, will cause left misses. Maybe when you took a deeper hook, you were able to relax your hand more and so stopped torquing the string?
Most left misses are caused by alignment problems: shoulders pointed to left of target, arrow not under eye, drawing forearm pointed to left of target as a result of not coming to full draw, etc. But none of these other than the one I mentioned would be directly affected by taking a deeper hook.
are you picking your head up? sometimes this happens to me and i then shortdraw, whatever works works bud!!!
Pushing my front shoulder through my shot seems to really improve my groups. For some reason I can't always recreate it though. Anyway, deeper hook seems to have fixed my issue maybe it will help someone else as well... The root of ALL my shooting problems is not properly/patiently going through my shot cylce EVERYTIME... I guess I just get in a hurry and like seeing em fly...
yes sir, keep at it ive been shooting a bow my whole life and i feel like im new to trad, learn something new everyday its why it never gets old, try this try to really concentrate on your shoulder alignment to the target, it lately helped me a ton
Ok will do!
any differences bud?
