    Scrapes off the highway

    That’s pretty awesome! I definitely have no qualms with hunting near a highway, houses or whatever else. Way more concerned with getting on deer as a struggling stickbow hunter. In my mind at least places like this seem like they would be easier to use the wind in my favor being how small they...

    Scrapes off the highway

    That’s helpful thank you. I was surprised I didn’t jump anything while walking around given some of the areas being more dense, but that may not mean deer aren’t bedding there still. I didn’t walk the whole thing yet. Those were my thoughts too though: if they’re bedding close by I feel like the...

    True I could always just do a late evening sit to see if anything’s moving before dark Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Haha thanks for the heads up. I went ahead and edited it. Cameras might have to be the way to go Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Scrapes off the highway

    I have access to a 37 acre property close to my house that runs directly next to the highway (highlighted in green in the screenshot). I walked part of it today and found several scrapes and a couple newer looking rubs, lots of well used trails through ankle and knee high grass, along with a...

    Thanks! I heard this on a podcast the other day and thought it was so spot on. They were talking about how as new archers we tend to absorb everything and execute it correctly because we don’t know how else to do it. Then a couple months in you think “oh this isn’t that bad, I’m pretty good at...

    That’s helpful and seems to confirm what others are saying. When you say your hook wasn’t deep enough, where were you hooking and where did you end up hooking to be where you needed to be? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I think you’re right on par with that. I’m noticing that my release becomes pretty natural and smooth when I really emphasize scapular tension increasing in the right direction (behind and around) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    You could definitely be right. I had been shooting quite a bit before the video too which didn’t help. I’m gonna keep these limbs on for now since I’m hunting with them, but I try to keep my shot count low if I start feeling like the weight is interfering with my form Sent from my iPhone...

    Update: Ok so here’s a current video after trying to work on 1) less pressure on my ring finger hook 2) increasing tension with emphasis on elbow pressing down and around 3) hand finishing behind my head I feel like this is an improvement. To me the motion seems more smooth and there’s less...

    String silencers

    Right now I’m using the cat whiskers type. Two of them rolled together into one. I do that on the top and the bottom. I’ve liked them so far. Some brand called circuit archery on Amazon Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Gotcha that makes sense. I took some shots in the yard today really focusing on only using minimal tension on my ring finger. On top of that making sure to build tension up to the release and keeping a relaxed forearm. It seems like my finish is looking better and my hand not flying away quite...

    When you say less tension in the hand, do you mean just a slightly more relaxed forearm and hand during the draw and hold? And when you say a deep hook, where exactly are you referring to the string being in your fingers to be considered a deep hook? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    That’s really helpful, thank you! It’s good to know someone else is working through that too. Yeah that first shot I know for a fact I was trying to force my hand into that position behind my head, which was probably contributing to a very intentional release. I hadn’t thought about having too...

    That’s interesting about the elbow height. Now that you mention it I do feel like my elbow tends to sit high in relation to my hand. I’m not currently shooting a trigger, but definitely trying to keep the release subconscious as I pull through. Thank you for your input Sent from my iPhone...

    Help with release and finish

    So I’m struggling with where my hand finishes upon the release. In the first video my hand finishes near the back of my head, but first it goes straight down before coming back up behind my head. In the second video my hand still goes down slightly, but then finishes back near my shoulder. In...
