Uncle Howard!! was before your time Terry. In the 80's and 90's, Howard Hill's nephew, Jerry Hill, use to put on the grandest, most unorganized, unbelievable moving, flying, jumping 28 targets you have ever seen. People from 3-4 different countrys would come every summer to try to win the World Championships there in Wilsonville , Al. We would all pile up from Ga and head over and camp out or stay at the roach motel that weekend and have a blast....2 days of Competiton.....Highlight for Me and I know Biggie and others is when Jerry would hold court on saturday night and show Howard Hill movies......To start every tournament off he would  talk about "UNCLE" Howard and then shoot an arrow in the air in memory of his uncle...it never failed someone in the crowd would always scream like a cat when he shot that arrow into never never land.........if you get close to Oxford,Ms...I let your touch my 1993 World Championship Trophy...you may even develop a pause after that  :D

I shot this evening and many times I seem to snap shoot as I dont feel right about the shot but I still tack it in. That to me is snap shooting, I just feel better when I have my spot picked, draw confirm my spot and release, how long a hold is it??? never timed it, but less that 3 seconds, probably more like 1-2 seconds. I still do not think that is snap shooting.

If you are hitting your mark consistently -what matters whether you snap or hold. I am lost.

Love ya Joey...even left you a voice mail...but I don't need no pause lessen the game dictates, then and only then will I hold.  Like you said, gotta be versatile.

Take care my friend.....see you in the Wilderness.

J-Dog....no worries, we are all wired different.  Been preaching that for years.

Some are better at figuring the trajectory to the moon, and others are better at flying the rocket.  Makes the world go round........

Some draw, anchor, aim, release....

Others aim, draw, anchor, release....

Both work and are lethal if Mastered.

Take care guys......got some salmon to catch the next three days.  Dad will use his lure, and I will use mine......neither will go hungry.
