Hes been a huge help in getting me worked out with my archery skills and my form.
Tonight was a good night and I know I post a lot, but this one I feel like cant go without saying/posting...
Thanks RadSav for everything. I appreciate people like you.
Managed to peel and stick a fletching right off of one of my arrows.
Tonight I took to heart a few things we discussed and these are the results of a little night time practice at 35 yards.
Two different sets of 3 arrows shots, back to back.

Not an easy thing to take words and put them into effective function.Doing what you said totally goes against everything that feels natural, I had to fight myself to get my hands to cooperate.
But man does it make a difference. :tup:

I started out shooting fingers with my bow canted and my index finger in the corner of my mouth. Shot that way for almost a decade before switching to sights and lowering my anchor below my chin and moving the bow vertical. Now every couple of years I start to forget how to aim properly at animals. So back to aiming basics and shooting the bare bow for a few weeks. Hard for me to believe that was once second nature to me. Then after those two weeks it's back to relearning the release and low anchor again.
The mind does not like change. Even if the results you see are advantageous. But, if done properly the mind will soon accept it. And you will grow stronger as a result... But heck, who knows that better than you :chuckle:

After fighting it for a few weeks it will become second nature. Then it will be hard for you to believe you shot any other way.Thanks for everything man. :IBCOOL:

RadSav, I told Smossy we needed to bake you cookies or something as a thank you, then he said you'd probably think they were "special" and now I'm out of ideas :) lol.

edit: He would probably take homemade oatmeal cookie over almost anything you could give him

I'm a little uncomfortable taking credit when it comes to Smossy and his improved shooting. I did nothing to apply his hard work and dedication to improve. That's 100% him. Giving me credit for that is like praising my driving even though all I did was hold the map in the passengers seat.
I can only give advise to those who will listen. And I appreciate knowing I haven't just been talking to myself. Thank you.
