    I hope I've got some of it worked out ! Jeez there's so much to consider, I guess that's where experience comes into it.

    Whilst I have learnt a lot from the uTubery, I really have to watch 10 or more videos on the same point, to get an idea of who knows what they're talking about, and who is, "I just bought a bow, look at this..."

    The biggest take home idea, I got from this above is that the bow, once the arrow is released, should be set up to be symmetrical in every way possible. And that nothing should apply pressure to the bow's axes (axis plural).

    That is why the grip, really, is not a strong firm grip at all, the bow should, roll slightly on the thumb/palm intersection as the arrow is released with the fingers being relaxed and not exerting any force on the handle which is what the uTubers call "torque" . Or as I understand it, "twisting". 'mericans have a different view of English.

    And this is also where the stabilisers come into play, the bow should be "balanced", i.e. not top heavy, or side to side leaning, from the balance point, as discussed above, when the arrow is released, the symmetry should reference, not the handle, but the berger hole.
