Need Help - Holding Low

[fatlander]

Disclaimer, I’m no expert. I do run a small archery shop out of my garage.

It sounds like there’s two issues here:

1.) You’re trying to aim before you’re anchored. Anchor first then aim.

2.) You’ve got target panic. Blank baling a hinge is the only thing that saved archery for me. I shoot so well with a hinge that I own nothing but hinge releases.

To me, "the second my nose touches the string" says that either (1) your process is mixed up; or (2) you have target panic. Both are fixable.

Process: Draw, anchor, aim, execute. If you are aiming, then anchoring, your aiming point will change.

Panic: If you draw, anchor, aim, and execute but your bow just sinks, that is 100% a form of panic.

Test: Go outside, draw, anchor, aim and don't execute the shot (tell yourself in advance you're not going to shoot). If your bow dips after you anchor properly when you are aiming, then probably a subconscious thing.
