I'm just coming back to bowhunting. Last time I went bowhunting, there was no internet. I hunted with a recurve for a few years then and had success, and for some years before that with a compound.
With raising kids who play sports, I haven't hunted in a long time, but a friend of mine got me interested gain, so I tuned up my bow, fletched up some arrows and hit the back yard. At first I was awful, but did some form practice trying to remember what little form I used to have - got bow tuned, got a little better...
But I watched one of Terry's videos on here where he is canting at odd angles, and what I got from it was... get a deeper hook. Boy that made a world of difference. I am shooting pretty consistently where I am looking now just by making sure my fingertips are pointing back at me when I start to draw. Also, makes bow feel lighter.
Thanks, Terry!

Yep....I remember long ago when I made the switch...someone told me to shoot off the pads of my finger tips...so I did....
THEN....someone said...WHAT are you doing?
They told me to hook on the string at the 1st joins,....and a revelation was reviled. I had COMMANDING control over the bow, the shot, and the bow DID feel 10#s lighter......and my accuracy...oh mMY!!!...my accuracy!!!!
Good stuff....glad it helped you as well.

Just ried it last week myself...I agree with Terry...
"commanding control over the bow, the shot, and the bow feels 10# lighter"...agreed...I think I'm shooting better now than ever.
Hopefully I can keep it up... :thumbsup:
