Hey Guys,
I'm pretty new to traditional archery and have been shooting regularly for the past couple months. I had been getting pretty frustrated and disappointed because I didn't feel like my performance and accuracy was getting any better. I had been asking around and was thinking I was going to have to get new arrows...again.
So I decided to take a break for a few days. Didn't touch or even look at my bow. This morning I decided to try shooting again. I noticed I was trying to grip my longbow like I gripped a recurve, and I noticed I was leaning my head to the right.
I adjusted my grip and made sure to straighten my neck when shooting. The results:
From 10 yds-
Also from 10 yds-
First real attempt from 20 yds (paying attention to grip and my head)-
Set up I'm using is a used Bear Montana 55# @ 28" I got here on the classifieds. 7 3/4" brace height. B50 dacron string. 29" pull. Easton Gamegetter 2117 w/ 125gr field tips cut to 30"ish.
Edited to add: Looking at the pictures it seems my nocks are drifting a little to the right. So I need to adjust my brace height a tad, correct? Would I need to go higher or lower?
