for what its worth my best friends father lost his right arm just below the elbow. he had a prosthetic arm with a device on the end that was kind of hook shaped and opened and cosed like pliers using back tension. After years of watching us shoot, one day on a whim he picked up a bow with his "hook" and proceeded to shoot left handed. With a few pointers he was soon drilling the bulls eye. Never let someone tell you you cant do something

If I were to try that it would be called snap shooting for more than one reason. About half back my teeth would reach the target before my arrow.

Congratulations on sticking with it and strong teeth.

You are four times the hunter that I will ever be!
I am honored to be in the community with you.

Welcome to the party! You may have lots to ask but with your years of experience I am sure you also have plenty of wisdom to share!  :)

The late Biff Williams from Spokane, WA enjoyed shooting and attended a number of the North American Longbow Safaris. He used a small leather tab attached to the nocking point on his string, and it worked really well for him. I'll see about getting a photo and story posted. Good luck.

hud--  yep, that's how i do it, too.  i make a d-loop like the rooney-bow boys use with their mechanical releases, and thread a piece of thick, stout, sole leather on it.

so i'm pulling from directly behind the nock.


richie- my 2 great regrets in life are:

1. that i went 31 years without the bow, when i could have been shooting it all along.

and...

2.  that i didn't join the Marines!  most all of the best men i know are Marines.  thanks for your service.

thank you all for your kind welcome.  i really appreciate it.

Awesome. I saw someone shoot that way when I was a kid, but I can't remember who they were or where I saw them. It may have been on TV or something, but it doesn't seem like it was.

Also, congrats on the Bamabow. Waiting on one myself.

Sledge, Welcome from the Heart of Dixie!
Just keep on keeping on.  When I was 16 I cut my Achillies Tendon in my right leg.  Some Drs. said I would not walk again, at least not normally.  But I worked at it and now you can see me limp when I really tired.
So keep hunting and doin' your thing!
You'll really love this bunch.
