new traditional shooter needing advice
« on: July 07, 2012, 07:41:00 PM »
Hello, so I bought a lefthanded Toelke whip back in January and have been shooting it more and more this year. I have never shot traditional before so it has been a learning experience and a lot of fun.

I have noticed that a large majority of my shots are right and slightly low. Pretty good groups just consistently low and right. I went to RMSGEAR here in town when I got the bow and we confirmed what Dan Toelke had suggested for arrow spine and point weight. So I think I am pretty tuned. I think this is the indian and not the arrow:)

My guess is that I am dropping my bow arm on release and am watching for that. Is there anything else in my form that could be causing a consistent low right impact? Thank you

For a left handed archer, look to your string hand and release.  Low and right for you would most likely be a flying string hand (popping out from your anchor at release).  Easier to help with a video.

Are you willing to give up what you are; to become what you could be?

Arne, Thank you. Interesting you say that. As when I am really focused with keeping my bow arm steady and a proper release, the arrow is flying good. Maybe I am letting that lefthand fly a little. I'll watch for that in the morning. If it doesn't improve, I'll get one of the teenagers to post a video for me. Great idea. Thank you again.
