Arrow Watching

[bow4elk]

I'm happy to help any of you guys with your questions.  Bottom line - you need to focus on good shooting form and shot placement...the rest falls into the kill zone!

Here's a plan.  Switch to a 45 lbs recurve, with brite Yellow heavy helical 5 inch fletching with a brite yellow dip.

You'll see your arrow.


You'l see your arrow for a really long time actually.......hehehehehehehe

Interesting discussion!  I never see my arrow in flight. I can see them with my old old Hoyt backup with 550 grain arrows but not with the newer bows with smaller carbons.
Tried to correct that issue and developed some very nasty habits which took me a couple of years to get rid of and still some of them return if I'm not careful. 

Tried bright fletch and crested my arrows but that didn't help.  So, I concentrate on my "follow through" and the arrow is almost always where I wanted it!!

If I don't see my arrow in flight I miss. I do not peek around my bow to see the arrow flight I see it as an extension of my sights. If you are concentrating on your site picture and have good form you will see the arrow flight to your target. If you find you are using good form and are not peeking but still do not see the arrow flight perhaps you are dropping your bow arm to soon and blocking your view of the arrow. Also your vision may not be up to the task of seeing and following the arrow the target. If that is the case corrective lenses may be in your future.=)
