I shoot the best when I just think about being fluid. Ric pretty much explained my method too.

I worked on holding for my right hand shooting, so I could develope a better secondary aim for long shots. When I got to that point,I found with a slower draw that a 1/4 second hold was as good as a 4 second hold. I have seen some guys really mess themselves up trying to develope an exact secondary aiming process. I have found its better, when telling people new to this, that the arrow needs to be pointed at the target and that it needs to be lobbed up far enough so that it hits the target when it comes down, than trying to tell someone where to put the point on the ground, which gets them confused and looking at the point. If one holds for a longer period, it will give the eyes a longer time to see what is in front of him, including the arrow and its relationship to the target. For most it is good to be able to hold sometimes when trying to shoot tight groups and to be able to take a quick fluid shot at game when needed.

This is how I shoot.

On movers or aerials I can and do shoot faster, but targets and MOST hunting situations its like te above

I hold and aim. My shots are all over the place if I shoot fast.

This is my method also. I don't care how much I practice it, if pull up and release, there ain't no telling where that arrow might end up! :D :rolleyes:

I focus on the target, aim and pull to my anchor point, contract my back (opening my chest), hold briefly and release.

That's a quiet bow you've got there Brian!

Swing up
Rotational draw
Push Towards target
Firm Anchor
Even Release

I don't hold more than as I feel a solid anchor, that is my trigger. As I rotate back and push to the target I am settling in. At anchor I'm on.

Brain have you been in the woods yet?

Brianlocal3 · « **Reply #450 on:** October 21, 2013, 06:47:00 PM »

Not yet. Still working out of town, so when I get back in town I don't want to leave the wife and kiddos after not seeing them all week.

Hopefully soon

I shoot like Ric O'Shay most of the time, pretty quick. When I'm practicing I'll make my self hold for 2-4-10 seconds just to make sure everything is right and I am in control of the shot. Its real easy for me to fall into bad habits shooting fast, but making myself hold for a length of time keeps me "honest", and it can pay of in the woods too.

Had the 7 Lakes Carolina Night in hand tonight with a button buck broadside to me for plenty of time for a shot. Only about 5-7 yards out. I'm just 12 feet up. Just couldn't do it. He had no clue I existed. I'd like to maybe see him next year. And then maybe the next. Still waiting for my first longbow harvest.

Ok we are getting some cooler weather here in SC. I have been out once a week every week since august the 15 fighting bugs, spider webs and hot humid days but now we are in the low 70's and I'm heading in the woods this evening and tomarrow morning if I dont shot anything tonight. It supposed to be 40 degrees in the morning. Hill bow ready to put a Simmons shark through a deer!

Good Luck Brady - hope you tip one over! We have had 3 days of hard frost with more on the way. I am hoping to see some bucks chasing this weekend ... and put a doug fir shaft through their chest.

Good luck to all, keep an eye on the upcoming hunter's moon.

Bob.
