Terry...Ssshhh.

oooh lol,
one more thing I'd like to add, not to be makin excuses, but I know from HIll shooters that "D" shaped bows have more kick compared to the recurves and hybrids, could that be one reason my arm drops every shot?

Terry Green · « **Reply #44 on:** February 16, 2008, 08:00:00 PM »

Nah...the D shape aint got nothing to do with it. Them Berry bows are dandies BTW.

I was in the Venetian. I was there the same time George was...... :D

I'll give ya a shout next time I'm out that way.

Glad to see you ordered a glove. Takes a little getting used to but it will help .Makes usre you get an armguard on as well. Im not crazy about your anchorpoint. It seems too high and away from your face in the video and then the release looks plucky along with it.Did you try the more common middle finger to the mouth? You dont have the arrow above your eye line do you?

I like your slight down and right motion of your bow hand, but like was mentioned if your anchor could come down a little, the old index finger at the corner of the mouth is a good place to start. right now your arrow should be to the right of the target, if you get that down not only would your power line be easier to manage, but the arrow would be more under your eye. You have good natural abilities, tighten the form up a bit and you'll be great.

What are you using for an anchor pt? Your draw ends too high,looks like you don't have an anchor.I think that's what's causing the result on your last video shot(from your reaction,it wasn't good)

Terry Green · « **Reply #49 on:** February 21, 2008, 09:06:00 AM »

Yep......thats why his power points are above his shoulders, and the reason for the downward movement.

59# is way too much for you to start on. You should find a 30-35# bow and get your form correct before even atempting to shoot a bow at 59#! Right now I think you may have a perfect case of "overbowed".

deadpool · « **Reply #51 on:** February 21, 2008, 05:09:00 PM »

hey tom, the thing is I didnt start on 59lb, I started from 40, to 47 to 50 to 55 then 59, not quikly changin ether, and for my anchor poin I'm using my middle finger just past py lip, not much,

and maybe if I am overbowed, I guess I could always trade down again

laddy · « **Reply #52 on:** February 21, 2008, 05:32:00 PM »

I think your plenty strong, but really, take a close look where your anchor is. Try shooting with the Boys Scout salute, hold your pinky down with your thumb then draw so your thumb slides under and behind your jaw bone. The middle finger will line up close to the corner of your mouth then. I had a fellow threaten me once because he said he had a thirty inch draw, he had a 19'' draw in reality.

deadpool · « **Reply #53 on:** February 21, 2008, 05:44:00 PM »

hold my pinkie down ehh?

well heres another vid....i actually think I'm back where i started because i havent shot in a few days, my glove still hasnt come in,

here you go you guys,

laddy · « **Reply #54 on:** February 21, 2008, 06:36:00 PM »

When you practice drew, you solidly anchored way back at the jaw pivot and pulled to the tip. If you look at your video you will see that there were a few inches out in front. Your draw length is your draw length it is a mistake to decide what that should be before your from is settled in. It is difficult to shoot and aim, at the same time changing your form around. I find it best for folks practice their draw and anchor without shooting until it feels natural. then try it out on the target. You do not look over bowed to me at all. Have you ever watched a video of Howard Hill? Much of your shooting motion with that really nice Berry looks like it fits the longbow shooting style. If you don't have it Hittin' "EM Like Howard Hill would help. One more thing, to check your general longbow form draw length, place your arrow or ruler just below your throat and reach both hands forward together, where your finger tips come without stretching is your draw length with a longbow. A recurve grip will give a little more.

will do sir, looks like I may have to get that vid, and thanks for noticin im not overbowed, I really do need to practice my anchor, i should buy the clicker, and your right!
i just notice that the recurve actually gets me at 29", i notice i lose an inch or 2

cvarcher · « **Reply #56 on:** February 21, 2008, 07:01:00 PM »

OK I see where you are anchoring in the first scene.Thats way past the mouth and your hand is at your ear. Afterwards in the video of your shooting we cannot see your anchor.If you are getting to the exact spot at your ear and it aint hitting any part of your face I suppose its ok.Clean consistant release is what you want. Just that the ergonomics of it may not be good to your form.Im curious but what is your height and what is your shirt sleeve length(eg-28-34").

Terry Green · « **Reply #57 on:** February 21, 2008, 07:07:00 PM »

Can't see your face in that clip...not sure what's going on.

I did notice a loud 'click' when you nocked an arrow...almost sounded like your nocks are too tight on the string.

deadpool · « **Reply #58 on:** February 21, 2008, 07:09:00 PM »

im very close to 5'10, my sleave lenthe, honestly Idk...so I cant lie to you

deadpool · « **Reply #59 on:** February 21, 2008, 07:15:00 PM »

its not that, the camera can catch the smallest sound, come to think of it it does sound like that
