Going Back To The Blank Bail and Basics!!

[Jack Hoyt 75]

I took Rod Jenkin's clinic about a year ago.  Those of you who have also attended one know Rod is clear you can't become a world class shooter in 2 days so it is the practice you put in after his clinic that is the key.

I am just putting in writing that today I went back to the blank bail.  Pulled out all my notes and Rod's handout and read everything.  Going to blank bail from tonight for at least 3 weeks.  Then going to set up a Bridge starting at 5 yards going to 25 hopefully.

This should mean that by early June I am flinging arrows at the new 3D targets I picked up from Big Jim at KY TradFest!  I will be ready for Compton Rendezvous for sure.

This is not really a follow along thread just declaring my intentions and will put up a update once a week or so.  That way if I fail or miss a lot of days you can give me a hard time and call me lazy! (haha)       Any and all feedback is welcome for sure.

Bow of choice for my training will be a Fox Triple Crown 66" and 38#@29".  Phenolic/Cocobolo riser, Yew core with carbon lamination, black glass on back and yew on belly (no veneer).  Smooth as silk!

April 29 Day 1:  Set up blank bail.  10 reps of foot placement, bow hand and string hand.  Looking good but I think anchor, expansion and conclusion is where I need most focus.

        More to come...

Hey thats good.  I usually shoot several arrows blank bale first, every time I shoot, just to get off on the right foot.  I agree this is something that requires constant practice and study, to attempt to shoot at the expert level (which I have not attained yet).  Best wishes
