The obvious answer here is who cares...:p Even if that bow had a string I'm pretty sure that silly arrow would bite the dust after a dramatic death spiral of say maybe 10 yards or so.

It looks like you're doing well Lucas. I think the breathing control is very similar to martial arts or other shooting sports for that matter. At some point you will just quit thinking about it and...
Sounds good.
Personally I think with any projectile aiming, from bows to guns you should keep both eyes open and use your dominant eye to aim with. I'm sure you get how to do this since you are a hunter but I...
Awesome! Have fun with it.
When you're ready and only if you want I could get you in contact with a really good bow maker from the Choctaw tribe. Might as well match it to your bloodline and this...
You're right on the money. Instinctive is good for any level of shooter but especially when they are first learning. Try split vision next then work into gap aiming and you'll be holding 4" or less...
Here's another link you might be interested in. The blogger discusses various methods of aiming along with photo illustrations. I mostly just use instinctive and split vision to aim. One method this...
Well, this thread certainly is easy on the eyes...:D

This may help...

Also, here's a wiki link that has a decent description regarding the...
I prefer no arrow rest for my longbow. I'm an instinctive shooter so it just feels better to me. I also tilt the bow a little to the right when shooting in order to open up the sight window and to...
So Lucas, are you getting into archery for target shooting or hunting?
If you're target shooting then I'd recommend a recurve, but for hunting it's longbow all the way. I think the recurve shoots...
Yup, that was me. I created a thread a while back about how to build a traditional Choctaw bow and arrows but I deleted it due to lack of interest and I really didn't like the way I put it together....
