x2?

hey fellas,
i use the shooting system as promoted by Rick Welch.
as a young shooter in South Africa, with no one to help me, i was plagued with crappy form and release.
moving to Canada, i received so much help, but getting a consistent draw length, proper back tension and a decent release, really evaded me.

when i found Ricks system, it was like night and day.
his method uses a double anchor system.
first thumb knuckle at back of jaw bone, bone on bone, then tip the head forward slightly, and your nose touches the cock feather( left wing if you shoot right handed- as the feather tips upwards.)- this is the key to the back tension.
I have noticed that i can come to full draw, and have my nose still an inch from the fletch, but just by engaging my back and bringing my elbow around, it all lines up.

exactly same anchor, exactly the same measured back tension every time.
its like making sure you have your rifle rounds loaded with the exactly the same amt. of powder every time.

my accuracy and consistency immediately improved.

tghis was something i learned the hard way, short drawing or overdrawing, not only effects your elevation on your shots, but it also effects the windage.
short draw by an inch- you in effect are now shooting arrows that are a whole spine group overspined( changed your drawlength) and then that affects flight characteristics and Point Of Impact.

it works for me, those two shots were the first 2 shots i have shot in almost a year- i hurt my shoulder, and at 15 yards and they are like i shot a hundred arrows everyday for the last year.
i am NOT the worlds best shooter, so i need all the help i can get. this helps me a bunch!!    

or maybe its just a testament to an awesome bow.   :D  

so yup the feathers are further forward, to facilitate the anchoring system.
and so consequently went to shooting 4" fletches so that they dont interfere with the riser.

Zrad, another way i have seen to mark the brace height is with a special band in the cresting.

Interesting..

Thanks for the info Fuji

Fujimo, how long would you say you hold at more or less full draw?
I get antsy after about a second.  Partly because I'm scared my wood bow will blow up.

I'll be checking out the video

I have my own shooting system..

kinda hard shoving arrows into a fresh spot on a target..
...isn't it Roy?
 

Excellent placement Roy...hand placement that is.

with my self bows, and glass bows i hold for the full 2 seconds, but it's more subconscious now- i dont count or anything.
just a feel nowdays
