Title: Training/Train-up Plans?
Post by: Fisher Cat on May 06, 2011, 09:34:00 AM
I would like to improve every aspect of my form.  I've noticed recently that when I'm trying to work on a part of my form, my shooting gets worse (because my focus is split).  Later, when I "just shoot," things seem fine again. I imagine there is a long-term benefit from paying attention to form in the short term, but It might be better to have some sort of schedule or plan for this.  For example:  Monday I just focus on my release, Tuesday I just shoot, Wednesday form master etc...  

Do any of you have a training plan or method?  What has worked for you and what's your reasoning behind it?  Thanks alot - John

I think if you are at a stage where you don't have a solid form, you need to get a big bale and stand really close and focus on nothing but form.  Nothing else you practice is really of any benefit until you have a repeatable form (in my opinion).  Look into Masters of the Bare Bow series and look at Blind Bale practice.  Blind bale practice shifted me from a dead release to a much more dynamic release and changed me from a swing draw to more of a straight back pull.  It just feels better.
