So just to get aquanted with my bow i've been doing some short and medium range target shooting daily. i dont really know what my method is because i havnt researched different aiming approaches. i decided to just take the bow and some arrows and start shooting and what ever feels right i'll build on that. unless i sucked so bad i couldnt hit a target then i would start seeking advice.
here is what i do.
lol
i knock my arrow, and sight my target. keeping my eye on my target i draw and raise my bow. right now my bow is verticle. i keep my eye on my target and let it fly. i would say its kind of like shooting a rifle from the hip. i started by seeing how i missed my target and made adjustments. my horizontal was on right from the start but i was shooting high. so i pretty much just feel it out and adjust myself accordingly based on my shot pattern.
so far its feeling pretty good and im hitting my targets for the most part. shooting a bow just feels really natural i wish i would have started years ago because it's a lot of fun.
going out this weekend to brush up/work on my woodsmanship and go stump shooting. because my ultimate goal is to hunt i want to spend a good portion of my target shooting in the woods, rather than ranges (although i plan to log a good deal of time in ranges as well), dealing with variables, and improving my overall ability to spend long hours tracking and working with terrain.
For whoso comes amongst many shall one day find that no one man is by so far the mightiest of all.
