What is the one single thing that has helped your shooting?

[Breeze430]

self-diagnoses for me...Understanding what I did, to get this..helped a ton.....

Follow through after the shot-

Just because you draw doesn't mean you have to shoot.

Getting my right rotator cuff repaired. Shoulder surgery really slowed me down for a while but now I'm shooting better than ever.

1. Like Fred Bear said...."The hand does not leave the face."

2. If I think I'm having control problems and shooting before I'm ready, I found a trick that helps me......I deny myself the shot.

Try it sometime.  Draw an arrow back, get the sight picture just right, concentrate.  ....Hold ...Hold....Hold....Hold
Then slowly let up while maintaining the sight picture. Deny yourself the shot.  You went through all that work to pull the bow back and didn't get the reward of watching the arrow fly.

Guess what...The world didn't end.

If you do this a few times you will gain control of your shot sequence. you will be able to release when you want to instead of triggering by motion and time alone.

It works!!

Triple anchor and back tension , yeah I know that is two but they go together .

Although I dont use it now, a clicker started all of my improvements.

Finding a local coach to watch and critique my form. Along with watching videos whether on internet or buying DVD's

Strength.  More strength for me is more control.  The solution to that, for me, is working up in bow weight, not going down to make it easier.

Dropping down in weight with a bow meant to improve form. Only way to learn proper form is when you can perform the shot without any stress. Light bow weight allows you to master your form, improve confidence and you can only go up from there.

Learning to come to full draw by equating shooting my bow to shooting a rifle. I have to thank the Push Release dvd for that.

[fmscan]

Green and Arne helped me sooooo much! Rotation for back tension... Thanx guys

[stujay]

Trying and implementing some of the good tips found in this forum.

[Terry Green]

Proper Alignment by far....it cures a LOT of problems.

[joe skipp]

Dropping bow weight, consistently hitting my anchor in the same spot,fine tuning the split vision method of aiming.

[Benchmade111]

I agree with Joe. I dropped my weight and it help to focus on my form and my anchor.

Confidence.  Believing that the arrow is going to go into that exact spot you're looking before you ever take the shot.  Hard to do when you shoot goups, and alot easier when you only take one arrow to the range.
