Title: Anybody a snap shooter??
Post by: 3Feathers on September 01, 2011, 03:44:00 PM
I think thats what I do alot.The arrow is gone in a split second rite when I come to full-draw.If I try to hold anchor to long my shots are
not accurate as if I release as soon as I come to full draw.

I release as soon as my index finger touches the corner of my mouth.   If I find myself short drawing or getting sloppy I will hold for a second before releasing but shortly after I'm back to the way I was tought.

I'm the same as Pat.  I see no reason to hold it.  If I have to aim, I might as well have sights.

I use to be but then I found out by holding for a 1/2 second to a second I became much more accurate.

IMO, if you can't hold long enough a full draw to line up the arrow (call it aiming if you will) then you're shooting too much bow. I don't hold for long, but snap shooting has never been as accurate for me.

Like Joebuck says, sight down the arrow because that's where it's going.

I can do both. Anchor and hold for a few seconds or snap shoot. I'm accurate with both methods.

I am not even a snap shooter. I'm a flinger. Too many years of bowfishing has totally ruined my form.

My brick fence eats too many of my arrows when I snap shoot...

I can hold my bow for a long time easily and still shoot but I find that I am on target right when I get to anchor.  If I hold much over a second I will lose back tension and my bow hand will wander.  Its how I always shot I have tried to change it but I can never match my accuracy.  I do have to do alot of bale work to prevent short drawing and several times during session I will draw to anchor while concentrating on a spot and then let down to prevent TP.  I know it ain't right but its me and I know how to manage it.

I would not call it snap shooting but if I try to realy bear down when I get on target arrow doesnt go where it is supposed to.   :dunno:
