It's all about the subconscious to me. I've dedicated myself to my trad shooting for little over a year now. Made a lot of improvements in strength and endurance but I could never get much better in consistency. One day great, next day bad, next day ok. Very tough to handle. I tried different form styles. Same results. Until I read Kidwells book. Oh man, this book is the bible. Now instead of working on form, I worked on my subconscious. Basically teaching myself that not everytime I draw an arrow I will shoot it. Gave me back the control I needed. Now I settle into anchor and really relax my release hand. Kidwell you saved me.
Fundamentally the marksman aims at himself

I read his book when I first started a couple of years ago, great book. I need to re-read it- Steve

I will have to read it.  I know that part and can tell when I am focused or my mind is on other things.  Trad shooting IMHO is 90% focus.
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

Best book for shooting and tp I have ever read.  Also Jay really stands by his product and helps through personal contact if neccessary.  I think it is a "must" have for any trad archer.
