Rotational drawing technique
« on: September 04, 2011, 02:29:00 PM »
Hi all,

I just posted a new video showing a rotational drawing technique.  This method really helps you get into the back muscles and is what the use of the form master really reinforces.

As always, there are many successful ways of doing something.  This is meant to make you think about what you do and to offer a suggestion.

Nice job as always Arne.  Once again you've provided further details to make all of us better shooters.  I appreciate the various angles that help illustrate that you are properly aligned at full draw with the downward motion.  

Edited to Add:  For those of you who are just beginning to work with this technique, rest assured that if you draw around & DOWN you WILL BE properly aligned at full draw. Keep pulling to maintain that tension at full draw until you release. Don't worry where your arrows hit at first....you can re-tune if necessary later....just get this feeling at full draw ingrained.

Very well done video. Static drawings are great, but if you can see the draw actually develop, it sure makes it easier for us imagination impaired types.
This one is going to get "bookmarked"!

I have a question if you dont mind.
When you reach anchor you open your mouth as your hand reaches it. Is this so that you can anchor on a particular tooth?

If so I am shooting with a big shot glove and have tried to anchor on a tooth rather than the corner of my mouth but I can't feel my tooth through the glove. Are you feeling the tooth or feeling your finger on your gum?

Thanks

Thanks all for the kind comments, they make the effort worth while.

Dogboy, I'd like to say that the mouth thing is the magic secret that nobody wants to share    :D     BUT The truth is that I am completely unaware of that really silly looking foible.  Looks like I'm a fish out of water and gulping air.  The face anchor for me is the "C" of my hand behind the jaw bone, base knuckle of the index finger tight into my cheek bone (see how the skin wrinkles up above my hand and below the eye?) and the middle finger in the corner of my mouth.

Using the bone on bone support at full draw is my real anchor!  If you are doing this, then find comfortable references on your face for the string hand.  Your bone on bone draw length cannot change so the string hand has to find the spots that keep it in the same position every time.  Hope this helps.

Moebow- thank you so much for the video.  I was having some real issues figuring some of this stuff out and that video along with Terry's clock really helped me out.  Now just so it becomes muscle memory.
