Re: Flinch!
Hey RoscoeP , I read an artical on aiming by Henderson the coach of the American Olympic Archery team . He stated that some forms of TP accurr when the archer is trying to time his pin on the center of the yellow . He further explained that it is impossible to hold the sight pin steady dead center of the yellow . Some archers experience their sight pin doing a small figeur eight over the center and others it was an oval motion and others a circular or sideways motion . It matters not what is your personnel motion.
He instructed his team to accept the small motion (some us shake or wobble) and relax during the following release .
He further stated that your mind thru your eye knew when the pin was dead center . The key was if it wasn`t your brain also knew and upon release it instinctively inclined to move the pin from the outermost swing to the center. This reduces the mental urgancy of trying to get the perfect sight picture which in most cases is a unattainable fleeting moment .
Often I had a great shot and don`t know why because my sight picture was off , that instintive centering took place.
Just something that stuck with me from my compound days to add to the good points above .
Cheers
