Title: Another 3 under question?
Post by: DBinAlamo on December 12, 2010, 09:09:00 PM: I've been shooting 3 under for almost a year, and lately I have been starting to pull the arrow off the shelf. I am right handed, and as soon as I start to draw I pull it off, I cant quite figure it out. Unequal pressure on all 3 fingers maybe? :confused: Any help would be appreciated. Thanks alot...DB

Be sure that you have a hook into the first joint of your string fingers, and your wrist so relaxed that it bends inward as you start the draw. Tension in that wrist and an outward bend in the wrist will tend to twist the string in the wrong direction.

It will also destroy your accuracy, generally causing you to hit left, so if your accuracy is still good, it is probably something else.

Started drawing the bow with equal tension on all three fingers and seen improvement. Concentrate on getting more bow weight on fingers two and three.
