    nice.
    makes me want to go shoot some arrows.
    you need to paint another dot up and to the left, then you''ll be hitting bulls-eyes.

    True!!.....I got it some what dialed in, then figured I would concentrate on form and consistency!!....Once I get good/better at 20yrds i'll start at 30yrds then 40....etc!!....Thanks for looking!!!

    I'm not sure if most of the pros on here would agree or not, but I learned from a very well to do archer last year to pull the trigger with my middle finger and the second part of it (not the pad)

    it really improved my grouping. Made sense because the middle finger is more in line with the trigger. And the reason you don't pull it with the (finger print pad area) is because its too sensitive, and you want it to be a surprise when it goes off.

    I mean your way works, I used it for 2 years. But my groups improved once I switched. Get some opinions of how the pros do it though.

    that's a very good point.
    i never noticed it before, but i use my middle finger to squeeze with also.
    it just seemed more natural, maybe being that it's longer.

    Re: Truly Addicting!!

    good start ... but I see you antipating the shot and gripping your bowas well as doing a bit of "peeking" , Let your bow fall forward, its not gonna sack you, its not gonna hit the ground, this is a great learning tool that teaches you to trust you equip as well how a well executed shot should feel like... I also see alot of tension in your bow hand .. in an effort to not grip the the bow like a 14 year old bow grabbing titties I see that you are triing hard to keep your fingers off ... thus creating tension and inducing a bit of tourqe.

    I see a concerted effort to make that trigger go off .. try the above advice .. it may work .. it may not


    the key to successful archery is finding what works for you and being able to repeat it consistantly

    I like the idea of the middle finger... I will try thay myself..

    I agree with the tension in your bow hand, yes, you are trying hard to keep your fingers off, but you grip it real quick after releasing the shot, just a little torque before that arrow leaves can affect things greatly...

    The comments below are great, reason I like the site so much, so many people out there willing to spend the time to comment on stuff like this.
