practicing form
« on: December 21, 2010, 08:03:00 PM »
i have just recently changed from r/h to a lefty and had alot of troubles getting a solid anchor, i have just started using a very similar anchor to rick welch and have been going great. i am now practicing my form every day. im doing all different things i started out closing my eyes and shooting witch worked good to isolate one or two things but im now just shooting one arrow at a time from 10 yards and trying to focus on all aspects. and its working great, if a shot doesn't land where i wanted it to,i analyze the shot as im walking to the target to retrieve my arrow, bye the time i get back if i cant figure out what i did wrong and figure out a solotion i put the bow down for 30 mins and come back and start fresh. i now have great confidence in my shots and shooting much better.

I've recently began shooting left-handed too.  I didn't switch, but want to shoot left as well as right-handed.  I also use a Rick Welch anchor.

The nose anchor seemed perfectly natural to me right-handed.  I don't remember ever not being able to find my nose.  But it was a problem for a while when I first started shooting left-handed.  Somehow my nose would not line up behind the cock feather.  I think it was a matter of getting my body into allignment left-handed, a lot of little things, but eventually I worked it out.  Or at least that part of it; there's a lot I'm still working out.
