Title: One thing at a time!
Post by: bear bowman on March 17, 2015, 04:52:00 PM

I've been trying to tune my arrows and I've got them pretty good. But it seemed like it depended what day it was as to how well they flew. I then was trying to work on all these different form things all at one time. I was driving myself to insanity. I finally said screw it and decided to try to solve one thing. I had to get to my anchor and I knew I wasn't. Turns out, getting to my anchor just about solved all of my problems that I thought I was having. Arrows are hitting consistently where I'm looking, flying better and a better experience overall. I have a lot of you guys to thank on here for that. Whether directly or indirectly.

Congrats on having it come together.
When someone is having trouble coming to a solid anchor it usually is because the back muscles are not involved.

Good deal.  I have spent the last several days tuning arrows to a new bow.  I shoot left handed and my arrows were flying to the left of the mark--fletched and most of the bare shafts.  I didn't accomplish much with my head position but changed my anchor and WOW.  I shoot split and had been covering my cheekbone with my index finger--figuring that this was placing my hand/string/arrow further to the left and would make the arrow hit further to the right I dropped my anchor to thumb pocket below the jawbone and it brought the arrows right on target.  I believe this anchor lets me get the back muscles engaged.
