consistently low
« on: January 16, 2012, 09:25:00 PM »
Hello, I have been shooting my bob lee signature for over a year now and steadily getting better. If i dont shoot in the bull i consistently shoot low groups. I have lowered my nock point with the hopes of it bringing my arrows up but have seen little difference. I am sure it is my form. I dont think i am collapsing, I think i am dropping my bow arm. Any advise on how to keep me from dropping my bow arm or other form problems I may be having that would make me shoot low would be great. I try to shoot just like rick welch. three under with a solid holding anchor at my  ear and feather to the nose.my brace height is 8 1/8 and nock is 1/4.
thanks DK

Sounds to me that your nocking point is too low at 1/4" but only you can determine that !  A video is the best way for any of us to help.  A dropping bow arm could be any number of different things.  Believe it or not but some bow arm problems are caused by the string side of the body.

ok, I have been lowering my nock because i thought it would make my arrows hit higher. and because if i look at the OL Adock tuning it is what i needed to do to get my broadheads to  hit where my field points do. I got the lowering nock point to raise arrows from a rick welch video. I dont really know what I am doing if you havent gathered that yet. Maybe i will figure out how to post a vid.
thanks DK

No....you DO NOT adjust nock point to adjust point of impact...   :readit:  

You adjust yourself for arrow impact.

Are you afraid of losing arrows?  :scared:   I shot low when I first started from Arrow-Loss-A-Phobia!  :banghead:    :archer2:
