Point on insanity

"Arrow width high"? I assumed most people used a theoretical gap on the target, like six inches above where I want to hit since hes 30yd away. Are you saying you use your arrow to differentiate your hold?

Exactly because my arrow width is consistent every time. I don’t like guessing 4-8-12 inches because like mentioned I can’t see exactly what I wanna hit. An elk is huge compared to a deer or pig. The arrow width has been the most consistent for “ gap” on target, but it’s always using the riser as a reference.

After watching videos and practicing my form I have been shooting more consistently than I was. A lot of videos mention clickers, and I can see how they could help focus on increasing tension and not your aim or release. The rms clicker looks interesting has anyone used it or is it worth messing with one and how do you know if you need one?

I would go with string mounted clicker before the rms one. It is a lot less fussy and will help with consistent draw length which is a huge help.

I've found string mounted clickers are hard to use with a high anchor. They're also harder to shoot well out of awkward angles. Both points in favor of an alternative clicker system... The most effective way to rotationally draw a bow is probably going to end with your string hand around your jaw bone. As you raise it to anchor, you will have a hard time avoiding a slight loss in draw length. Personally I find I am usually half an inch longer at that moment in the draw than at my final anchor point. I'm sure there are some form corrections available, but I shoot too well to change what I do right now.

But if you train yourself to draw directly to anchor point with your back muscles a limb mounted clicker is great.
