traditional shooting technique

hey everybody.

here is a video of me shooting my recurve and i know my technique still needs alot of work. i would like to see how other people shoot thier trad bows so i can learn from them and maybe other people can too.

hey how you going looks half decent to me maybe you could draw back a tad more

Hi mate, here is a vid of me shooting. One point i'd try to do if I was you is to hold at anchor a tad longer(or as long as you can) so as not to start short drawing/snap shooting. A very BAD habit when you have it... trust me.

Hope that works....

Nice work boys.

I am just getting back into my trad shooting form myself and it's great to see how diff people do it.

Thanks for taking the time. :P

I dunno how you go to 3/4 draw and hold like that, then go to full draw Al...loads n loads of practise I guess :?

Yes Luke, loads of close up practice at about 3m fromthe target and not thinking about aiming(thats the hard part) just thinking of the draw, anchor, hold and release/follow through.

I put the pause in so as to slow myself daown upon my shot. Help me out heaps. if I don't do this than I speed up to much and begin to fail to anchor.
:roll:

thats an awfully quite bow there! kopfjager Trad seems to be all about your routine before the shot! probably why i missed the target and hit a mates spotlight awhile ago while trying it! still learning!
