HH BUG GOT ME - Part Two!

[Rossco7002]

I'm with Blaino - pull til the string touches my brow. Really made a difference with consistent draw length and anchor plus I use it as a psycho - trigger as per Joel Turner's TP techniques.

Jeff Schulz passed that little gem my way and I owe him for it.

as always, shooting form should be, and is, a personal thing.  do whatever it takes to be most consistently accurate.  don't get into the habit of following what others do or preach - they are not, and never will be ... you!

I can't do the ibrow thing because I were glasses.  My middle finger hits my lip and the arrow is gone.  Any body with glasses  do the same thing

I have had the Hill bug for 30 years, still going strong.  Just got this beauty called. "Simba".  Was at the house when I got home yesterday.  Craig used  5 lama of dark carmelized bamboo, myrtle riser over lams, deerskin straight grip, 55#, 68".  Probably one of my best shooters!!  (No, didn't shoot that lion with a bow).

[Rob DiStefano]

that's a beauty, art!

[Bud B.]

Beauty indeed!

[Goshawkin]

"Simba" is a great name for it, matches the lion's colors beautifully

[Green]

That's a beautiful piece of work!

I normally like dark colored woods, but Simba is a sweet looking bow. Congrats!

Your Archers Digest is in better shape then mine, I just opened it and the cover fell off! Think I bought it new in 1974, GREAT BOOK!  Even then, the best battled for what they felt was the best bow design.   ...James

Guess everyone is different, when the string hits my arm guard at my wrist, I know I did it right. [/b]

Goshawkin,
Sorry for the delayed reply.
Mind you I'm brand new and still learning... for a while now that has been true; no wrist slap, and arrows on target... however...

Just recently I've discovered that my drawing arm elbow tends to stick outward at full draw... I recalled somewhere here on TG, a diagram of someone's draw with a line superimposed on the photo, showing how the drawing forearm is in line with the arrow (as opposed to being at an obtuse angle, as my elbow has done).
I attempted to "tuck" my elbow back behind me so that it was "more" inline, and made yet a new discovery... My arrows group tighter, I've increased my "draw length" by almost a full inch (my arrows are almost too short now, as the field points now stop on the shelf) and I do in fact get a gentle kiss at the wrist.

So I'm still learning, discovering, and strongly considering a wrist guard, as an hour of shooting does tent to get tender now.

absolutely stunning vixen love the highlights in the riser section

[Goshawkin]

Kmurray, like I said everyone's different. Do whatever works.

[Goshawkin]

Almost forgot, I've been shooting about 30 years and I'm still learning!

[Goshawkin]

I like the looks of that Vixen!
