Default Listen, Watch, Learn

Three things I did this weekend when I watch Rob and buckeye shoot.

Rob and buckeye both notice I tend to shoot while moving sometimes. Rob madea comment about trusting your float. This really sank in, I just shot 12 best arrows I have in a long time form wise. I floated over my aiming point.

Rob notice I was coming out of my shot, I feel this was because my fobs push my anchor out. I was not "in" the shot.

Blazers are on and it feels great.

Buckeye and Rob gave some great tips this weekend

Listen Watch Learn

Yes it was, around the bon fire I mentioned to Germ you need to float and buckeye said, "And trust your float". Excellent advice. We both commented that you will never get the job done just doing a drive by. (trying to jerk the shot when passing over the target).

Yep, sure is nice to get a second or third point of view on your shooting style. Rob and his friend Nate helped me quite a bit. I'm still battling the mental aspect (particularly pin float), but it's getting better. Great minds on this site for sure.

It was the trust your float that sunk in.

Well I used to use the word settle, but it think now it was a big part of my issue. I tried to hold pin "stready", I think that is why I shoot so much better from further out. I did'nt try to "hold" the pin on the target.
