I got chewed out shooting my Morningstar in my back yard again. I was shooting really good from a chair at about 18 yards and a woman got on my case about trying hurt that poor little rabbit that was four feet directly in front of me, sitting by the cranberry bush. My bow arm shoulder was in line with the target that i was shooting at, to my right 90 degrees away from the rabbit. I was merely working on my follow through, I find that with bows that naturally sit more on line at release, I can shoot much tighter groups. I was waiting for a fellow that has some follow through issues with his own bow. I informed the woman that Mrs. Brown Ears, does not know that she is a rabbit, and asked her to shut up and stop scaring Mrs. Brown Ears.
Back to the subject, When bows don't stay on line with a shot, i always wonder why. All of my bows are steady that way, When I rework a bow, that is my primary goal. I won't say what model bow this fellow bought, he bought it used, but I could not get it to remain on target at release either and I believe that is where his problems are starting from. Every bow that i have given out are ones that i have adjusted, but I have a sprained finger in my right hand and am afraid to offer the same for his otherwise good looking bow. I wonder how many longbows are out there that are off time. For those that have shot bows that have perfect limb timing like my Berry Morningstar, will recognize that something special. Needing to set up a longbow with nocking point and brace way out of normal is not a fix.
