Title: Shooting Styles
Post by: dano140 on February 14, 2008, 09:51:00 PM
I watched "Masters of the Barebow, Vol 1" and "Hitting 'Em Like Howard Hill" this weekend. There are a lot of different shooting styles shown, but I was drawn to the Hill style more than any of others.

I have only been shooting for a few months, but what I have been taught and working on is more of the target archery style. Is there any downside to switching styles this early in the game?

Yesterday and today, I tried shooting the Hill style and didn't seem to be too much worse than I normally  am. {I did say I have only been shooting for a couple of months    :) }

Is Hill's style more suited to a longbow or will it work equally as well on a recurve?

Thank you all for the great post!
