Title: Howard Hill Shot Clinic????
Post by: Northwest_Bowhunter on April 29, 2010, 05:22:00 PM

Has anyone heard of or attended a shooting clinic that uses the Howard Hill style of shooting?  Bob Wesley does I know but his wife just passed on and I am not sure he will have classes this year (and I don't want to trouble him with the question).

Thanks,
Michael

Michael,  I'm heading down to see Bob next week.  Had a class scheduled in early March when his wife relapsed.  He contacted me a couple weeks ago and we rescheduled to next week.  I would go ahead and contact him and see what he's got free.  I know he's now teaching a Monday kids class too.

The Bob Wesley and John Schluz methods have some differences.  Left handed I shoot almost exactly like Bob Wesley illustrated in his book. Right handed I shoot like Schulz. Now that I have no trace of a flinch I can shoot the Wesley method both sides, but I shoot tighter groups on the right side using the Schulz more fluid form and tempo, and tighter groups on the left side using the Wesley somewhat straighter form and tempo. I am curious if Bob's method has changed much since my contacts with him over twenty years ago.
   I hope Bob is making the best of it, but I am sure it is hard after losing her.  
   I still have that lucky piece of wood he sent me from Howard Hills target.
