Consistency help

By

I am having big problems with my form between shooting blank bale and at an actual target. I don't know if I would consider it target panic in the traditional sense, but many times when I am shooting at distance (18 meters or less) I "feel" like my form is just falling apart. But when I practice blank bale I feel like it is very strong. I'm confident in my alignment and use of back tension. I have a clean release and a strong follow through etc. And when I shoot at range, I hardly have any confidence in my process. And my arrows have erratic flights, tailing left and right, and are generally just all over the place. I will have times when I get to the line and I feel like the process is good and I have great results. I posted a picture a few days ago of my best group yet at 20 yards. But that kind of group is rare. Also most of the shooting I am doing is in my backyard. That is when I have the most trouble. But when I go the the archery range, I don't feel like I have these problems with my form nearly as bad. I actually shoot halfway decent at the range. But I can not make it there very often because of my work/family schedule. So idk what that is about. I know it can be hard to really diagnosis from only reading text and not seeing me shoot, but any advice would be appreciated.

TL;DR: Me no shoot good sometimes.

Shooting 40lb recurve with fingers

By
I’ve been competing with a 20lb genesis bow for 3 years and just graduated. I am used to using a three finger release and have always done so without a glove. However, i have recently purchased a 40lb recurve which i intend to hunt with but i have found that it hurts my fingers after only maybe 20 arrows. I have a glove but I can’t shoot well with it because it messes up my release (why i never used it with genesis). I had a similar problem to a lesser extent when I started with my genesis but after a while it stopped bothering me. Will it cause any damage to my fingers to continue shooting without a glove? And if so, can you recommend any other options for protecting my fingers or should I just try to make my glove work? submitted by /u/Shmoop-Dog [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/3kQK7dh via

Troubles with Thumb Draw...

By
Hello fellow archers! TLDR: I can't get my arrows to fly straight while using thumb draw. Please help! I started my archery journey for real last year with recurve. I loved it and I have become so much better than when I started. I've been using split finger, Mediterranean draw. My form is good and my arrows always fly straight and stick straight into the target. All I can see of the arrows is nocks and feathers when they're in the target. That's where I want to be. That makes me happy. Thumb draw, however... I have been practicing with it for a few months now. I've been using both Alibow's Mongolian fiberglass bow and their laminated Turkish bows. Both bows are 30# at 28" I have both a leather and plastic thumb rings that fit well. I've been shooting tight groups with thumb draw but my problem that I can't seem to fix on my own and can't learn from videos is that my arrows are always sticking in at an angle. I've tried Khatra, changin...

Help me identify a problem with aiming.

By
So im trying to learn how to gap shoot, but the problem is, the first step is 'use the tip of the arrow'. Now when I do this, I can already tell before shooting that if I use the tip of the arrow, the shot will go way left, this is obviously before even factoring in the gap above and below the target. I don't have too much trouble grouping in the yellow at 10ms, but the way im 'aiming' is just looking at the target and knowing that I need to shoot a certain distance to the right and a certain distance down. Im not using the arrow tip here...its hard to say exactly what im using as the reference its just a feeling I guess? I wouldn't say its instinctive as im definitely trying to aim I just don't know how im doing it, and I don't think it would hold up as I increase distance so I want to learn how to gap shoot properly. I appreciate having to adjust up or down as thats part of gap shooting, but if im having to compensate right, what could the problem ...
