Hey guys I have know idea what's going on!
Recently I have been shooting quite well my groups have been tight out to 30 yards problem is they are consistently low. I'm an "instinctive" shooter meaning I stare at what I want to hit and send the arrow.
Now I find myself constantly changing things to see if I can get the arrows to come up. With opening day less then a month away I'm starting to stress out which as you all know only helps to make things worse. Any ideas why I can't seem to get these arrows to come up? I figured my mind should be making the necessary adjustments but it's not!!!
-
Make sure your bow hand stays on the target till the arrow impacts!
-
Make sure your string elbow isn't too high! (Usually people have the other problem: too low of an elbow can cause high misses)
Make sure your anchor hasn't moved up! A 1/8" difference in anchor can make a 4-6" difference in POI at the target.
-
Make sure your nocking point hasn't slipped up. That will cause low arrows.
-
Like said keep that bow arm up until after the arrow impacts the target, dropping your bow arm with throw arrows low big time.
