RE: Tips on holding steady
I am not so sure I agree with the movement being "natural". Seems to me, that the more steady you are, and the more smooth you are, the bow shouldn't jump and you shouldn't have to jerk the bow back on target, causing the arrow to go who knows where. I know that when I am shooting my bow, I am rock steady on the target with a smooth release. Now, not saying I hit the "x" everytime, I just ain't that good, but I do get 2" groups at 25 yards, so I shoot well enough to kill any deer I shoot at, barring any "brain farts", which in my world are all too common. Also, when I shoot my rifle off a bench I am more accurate than freehand. Why? Because the crosshairs are rock steady on the target.
There are several things I think that affect this. Draw length, poundage, muscle fatigue, and target panic. Target panic being the most difficult of the three to overcome, but not impossible.
Hey, not trying to argue, just stating my humble opinion.
