Finally figured it out !
« on: May 05, 2007, 09:56:00 AM »
I've been strugling with my shooting for quite awhile now(years).I for the most part have always sighted down my arrow while drawing back.I believe my short draw problems resulted from this.If I reach anchor my sight picture changes(no comprehension)-resulting in half hazard shooting.
  Last night I told myself(no one else listens)that what good is an anchor if I can't put the arrow where I want.Once upon atime I had an anchor and shot pretty fairly,and then something hit me.It took me all this time to figure this out.
   It was the night I came home a little tipsy with the scent of a women.I was innocent but it didn't stop that cast iron frying pan from smashing my cheek bone or the door from breaking my thumb as I TRIED TO ESCAPE.
  So last night I tried shooting 3finger under.A MIRACLE,my thumb no longer bumped into my enlarged bone structure in my face.I was finally hitting what I was aiming at once again.
  Thank you honey with all my heart for helping me with my shooting,for ever yours Ray.

Thanks for the tip, I will just skip the first part and go three under, much less headache.

Ray - hows it working for you?
Mike Fedora teaches a real high anchor - might try that with the 3 under - puts the arrow just under the eye and makes gun barreling out to 30 or so deadly.

Tie a double nock set on as well (over and under).

Good luck.
Steve
