The quest for the blurry blob

[mrjsl]

I have seen moebow mention this a lot - bringing the string in line with your eye.

I normally do not (cannot) do this and it has been bugging me as to why I can't. I do have a large head, so that is some of it I guess.

However, I have three recurves here at the house - my 60" hunting bow, a 58" bear I'm tuning up for a friend, and a 62" cheap light weight bow for my stepson to shoot.

I notice that the shorter the bow, the further from in front of my eye the string seems to end up with the same anchor. I haven't looked at this in the mirror or in a picture, but I may try to take some pics to illustrate.

Does this make sense Moebow? With the 62" I can get the string almost right in front of my eye, with the 60" not, and with the 58" even less so. Anchoring the same way shooting split.

Makes sense to me.  The shorter bows will have a greater string angle and consequently angle away from your string fingers so will be farther from your eye.  Again, we each are built differently and a picture or two will definitely help.

I suggest this simply as a way to "index" the rear portion of the sight system to the same place each time.  I didn't mention it on the last video I did but the string/eye(glass) position is very clear on the "rotational draw" video.  You can see the string right in the center of my glasses lens.  

Slade, I wouldn't get too wrapped up over this if your physical "geometry" doesn't allow it.  Just find something to get as a reference for that "rear sight" reference.  It is just one thing that could affect left/right errors.
