Title: Stiff wrist for short bows? (Shrew, Th-Child, Tredway, etc./)
Post by: Sharptop on March 25, 2011, 08:48:00 PM

Looking to get better. For you guys who shoot 54-56, maybe 58 if you draw longer do you approach the shot with an extremely strong grip, tight grip, medium grip, etc., with those type hybrid longbows? And why?

I have shot a few of the shorter hybrids and can think of no reason to grip them with any more/less tension than longer bows,in fact my Hill style bows included I believe I use the same tension on all of them, just enough to maintain control at and after release.
