Steadiness

[kwaldeier]

I have trouble staying perfectly still when trying to aim my bow. i can shoot out at 40 but not in tight groups. i was curious to what some tips were to help me be more sturdy or steady in order for my pin to stay where i want it,instead of floating EVERYWHERE??? btw i have a 4.45 inch s coil limb saver stabilizer, would a better stabilizer help for being steady??(if so, suggestions?)thanks!

That's the start of stabilization, then the smaller the bow the harder to hold steady,I found that to be a factor when the wind came into effect, try try try till you find what works my friend. IF a 7inch doesn't work go to an 11 inch, when it works then you found the right stabilizer and bow.

"Steadiness" while shooting a bow is the result of good form and proper shooting mechanics. All shooters, (even the pros), cant hold the bow and sight pin completely steady. Trying to make it stop on your intended target will only cause you to move more. Instead, work on your form and proper release, and LET the pin hover over your target. Once this is accomplished, and you are hovering near your target point, slowly squeeze through the shot allowing the bow's release to take you by surprise. Punching the trigger will also contribute to poor shots. Hope this helps.

Add more weight and extend that weight away from your axis! You'll be amazed at your ability to steady your aim in ANY condition by adding weight and extending your stabilizer.... it will change your game!

Here's a better explanation and example....

"To increase the stability of something such as our bows, we must add weight to them. Since our bows experience many changing forces including torque, where we place that weight is also very important. It turns out that placing the weight as far out from the axis of rotation (i.e. the axis is at about the grip of the bow) is also extremely important. An example of this would be to take a broom and hold it by the bristled end and try to shake the handle back and forth. You'll see that it is quite easy. Now switch the broom around and hold it from the handle and try to shake the bristled end back and forth. It will be much more resistant to your movements."

The most impressive stabilizer I've EVER found is the Doinker DISH. An amazing product!!!

i thought about getting a doinker dish. but instead i got a doinker a-bomb from a local archery shop and it was so much steadier! also he said that my bow was out of tune probably had something to do with it being off??
