Title: pac's shooting form and sound level
Post by: Friends call me Pac on August 24, 2008, 12:11:00 PM
Any coments / suggestions on the form?  I have filed my nocks and installed bow hush and hush puppies.  Is it reasonably quiet enough to hunt with yet?  If not any suggestions of how to make it quiter i.e. file nocks a little more or whatever?

Looks pretty good to me.

And you bow doesn't sound too loud either.  A couple of those shots were louder than others.  Might have been the string hitting your arm guard?

I thought a couple of arrows sounded louder too.  I asked my wife to pick up a nail file for me to work on the nocks a little more.

I was amazed at what I didn't know I was doing every shot until I saw it on video.  For example I had no idea I drew with my bow hand open or touched my glove to my belly after every shot.

Yes, why do you hit your gut after nocking your arrows?

Have no idea.  I didn't even know I did it until looking at the video.  Might be to ensure my fingers are all of the way in the glove.

What you just said....just snugging up your glove subconsciously....

Take note of my last shot...I do the same thing on my thigh.....
