Snag,
Would you be so kind as to share with all us folks who may not know the exact procedure for doing what you learned at the clinic as far as  quieting down your bow? Just a little run down I mean.
                              Thanks!

Hi Charlie, one thing I learned was the proper grip for my bow. Each bow wants to be held a certain way to "allow" it to do it's job unimpeded. I had mine too much in my palm. When I repositioned it the bow upon conclusion of the shot jumped forward in my hand, in line with the target. Another thing was NOT releasing the string. Instead pulling with your back muscles until the string just leaves your fingers. If you want an eye-opener try using the Formaster. That will tell you how much you thought you were using your back muscles but actually weren't! Just a couple of things that will help anyone.
There were some very good shots in that clinic. Everyone noticed how much quieter our bows became after Rod was done with us.

Hey Brother,
Thanks for the info, I'm quite sure I don't use my back muscles near as much as I need to. I'll give these a try.
                         Thank You Very Much!

One of Rod's sayings was "you can't pull hard enough"! When you pull in line with the arrow and then all that energy takes off with the arrow it is a beautiful thing!
All this said....I put a small amount of wool yarn that I buy at a yarn shop in my string. Before the clinic I would wrap the end of the strings up into the loop...no more!
