Thread: Arrow spine

It's been many many years since I drew a bow , 40lb compound l used to have. And this was before sights were common place and it was all done by sight picture and mental calculation looking down the arrow to determine sighting.
Anyway , my 5 cent's worth is this.
Practice , practice , practice...and then practice some more. The more you use your bow the stronger you become and the more comfortable you will be with bow in hand. Try and relax into the shot , being all tensed up will do you no favours as far as accuracy and consistency go.
And did I mention practice...
I used to spend every spare minute in the back fields shooting at sparrows at all distances which I found worked really well as it helped with the mental calculations for range , and aiming at a small target helps immensely with accuracy. As the saying goes aim small miss small has never been more appropriate than with a bow.
And did I mention practice....
I reached the point where I could graze a coke bottle lid in the side of a haybale with a bladed hunting tip at any range up to 40 yards most of the time. And that was without sights of any kind. But did I spend ALOT of time practicing....
So get as much time shooting as you can as regularly as you can... even just ten minutes here and there , and don't overthink think it when it comes to aiming. When you have done enough shooting practice it will all come naturally. Just be consistent with where you hold the string to your cheek and again try and relax into the shot.
