American flatbow technique?
« on: August 10, 2013, 09:46:00 PM »
Recently got a new bow which is an American flat bow style, Howard hill like.  I am more used to a recurve.  Could anybody comment on differences in technique.  For example, should the bow arm be bent?   Can I expect the same accuracy as my recurve?

Answers in order, no, yes.

Try your bow arm straight but not locked at the elbow -- should be the same as your recurve.

Accuracy is what YOU make it, not the bow.
