I just strung up an old Bear Super Mag 48" that I have had since,I believe 1966.It was fun to shoot it again,but my shots were high by quit a bit.Any ideas you might have to help me out?
See if raising your nocking point helps,you should be able to raise it quite a bit before it effects arrow flight badl,but it should lower your point on a shoot more to were your looking..
If that doesn't work,,try something else ;)
I shoot my supermag 48 a lot, there is a huge difference between it and my longbow. It shoots way higher than the longbow for me. Its probably not the best solution, but I use a high anchor for the recurve and lean into the shot (I think this results in my bending forward at the waist a little). This puts me right where I want without changing my target picture. I shoot this bow off my back porch (elevated 16 feet), to practice shooting from a tree stand).
I think most of the compensation is from the change in anchor point. I tried changing the nock height, but really had arrows jumping off the shelf and all over the place.
Generally when I start shooting high (known yardage) it's from one of three things: I'm heeling the grip, sliding down out of anchor, or my head position is too high.
Thank you folks.I'll get back to the range and work on the things you metioned.
Maybe it's just faster.
think you guys just gave me the answer for a ? I had on another post, thanks
pick a bow , aim lower .
I try to match arrow weight to each particular bow so my sight picture remains as constant as possible. Each bow is different though and takes a bit to adjust.
I agree with Jason,,, in my case it is usually heeling the grip. I also seem to shoot high when I cant more,,,, closer to vertical seems to bring my arrows down. Dont know why,,, any thoughts??
