Hello bowhunters.Just bought a bear super kodiak been shooting the limbs off it. My first trad bow. Im hoping for a nanny before season closes.Got me some 2216's, tried to get zwickeys but ole man at the store said they would'nt fly good? I got some Magnus stingers, bought all he had. I hope this works. I started anchoring with my top finger to corner of my mouth is this what yall do? I never shot a trad bow before i shot a compound a long time. Im hittin pretty good at 15 yards. Thanks for any help!
You're going to love this place. :campfire:
Welcome... you'll like the change..
Welcome the 'Gang and the trad world. Nothing wrong with Zwickeys but nothing wrong with Stingers either. I anchor with my middle finger in the corner of my mouth, not too much different. If it's working for you, don't change, consistency is the key. Good luck getting after the does! :wavey:
Welcome to tradgang Cliff.
I shoot split finger. It just seems natural to me, but some like three under better. Do lots of reading and practicing you'll be out shootin me in no time. Lin
Welcome to the tradgang family!
Enjoy the journey with the rest of us.
I also shoot split finger but use my middle finger on the tip of my eye tooth as my anchor point. It puts the arrow closer to my eye.(IMHO)
I can suggest taking a look at Masters of the Barebow I,II and III.
God bless,Mudd
Welcome aboard your hooked now!!
Welcome and good luck.
Welcome! You'll have to soak in all there is about shooting etc...and decide on your own about many things. This is a great place to learn about the options though.
Check out the Shooters Forum for more hints/tips on shooting.
Thanks for the advice!
Welcome aboard Cliff. No looking back now. Enjoy and have fun.

Welcome, and Merry Christmas!
Welcome! There's a wealth of information here! :thumbsup:
welcome to the gang.
Ymtnmn, I've always anchored w/middle finger in the corner of my mouth. Get after it son. You;re quite welcome here with your enthusiasm especially. Merry Christmas.
The "Ol Man" at the store don't know jack about Zwickeys and arrow flight. They will work fine out of your setup.
Stick around here long enough and you will learn everything you need about Trad Bowhunting. Good luck in your new trad venture.
Welcome to the Gang. You'll learn more here than you can imagine.
Keeping the Faith!

Welcome, And good hunting.
Like Joe said. Zwickeys have "flown good" right into the vitals of many thousands of animals. Anyway...Welcome!....Phil

Pleased to have you join us!!!!!!!!!!
You may have to wade through some goup to find out what works best for you. The TG family will do their best to provide support and to make your travels in the traditonal style the most pleasureable experience imaginable.
Note: Once you consitently achieve proper alignment, the anchor point should be much easier to establish.
