Hello All,
New Here, and new to stick bows as well. I have hunted using a compound but never really got to excited by it. For the last 10 yrs I have toyed with the idea of returning to traditional archery, like when I was a kid. I'm drawn to it by its simplicity in such a complicated world. I can say I am more interested in archery and secondly in hunting, I nice buck would be a pleasant by-product of my new hobby!
I have a friend who has kind of steered me in the right direction, he shoots longbow and recurve. My purchase was a 45# Bear Super Grizzly. I held several bows but it seemed so well balanced I just had to have it! I am just beginning at about 8-10 yards and I manage to keep most of the arrows in about a 6-9 inch grouping...most being more than 50%. It seems when I just look at the target and let an arrow fly I have my best results, however I feel my form might be sloppy when I do that. So when I concentrate on form, anchor point and such I missed more often. I guess I am just wondering should I spend my time hitting what I am aiming at or perfecting my form?? Also can I expect any natural improvement as I continue.
I am currently shooting 400 carbon arrows and have not done any paper tuning as of yet. Looking forward to all your thoughts and lots of learning.
