Title: I beat target panic, and celebrating!
Post by: Overspined on June 27, 2012, 10:14:00 PM

Hill bow shooters are often kind of snap shooters.  I released at about 26 1/2" draw but very consistently. Accuracy was good.

I shot with a buddy at Grayling and we discussed how Howard shot, and he was also a student at Bob Wesley's school.  He explained in Bob's words how Howard anchored. I changed things up a bit and Bingo!  I draw 28" and accuracy is good until tired, but the panic just disappeared!  Crazy how a little different picture gets you on track so quickly.  Been shooting longbow 19 years.

After reading this, I looked up more information on how Howard Hill anchored and found a description of a four-point anchor.  It really helped me a lot.  I am also recovering from target panic, but I think my form got all out of whack in the process...apparently I was creeping my head to the right (RH shooter) instead of bringing my drawing hand straight to my face.  Boy, what a difference in consistency!  Thanks for posting this.
