Default RE: Does any one kow how to fire a bow "the right way"?

I agree, this should either be in the bowhunting or technical section of the archery forums. They are the first forums at the top of the page.

What kind of bow are we talking about? A long bow or a recurve that you are shooting with fingers and no sights. Or a modern compound with sights and possibly a release.

If it's a recurve or long bow try the traditional archery forum.

If it's a compound it is important that the bow fits you properly. You can't just grab any old bow and shoot it well. Some proper instruction from an experienced archer wouldn't be a bad idea either. And the bow needs to be set up correctly as well. The proper length and spined arrows with correct rest set up.

But the most important thing is that the bow fits you and you have proper form. You don't have to have a peep sight and sights, but it will sure make things easier.

Why don't you start by telling us what kind of bow it is and how fits you. I can link you to some threads here or a web page that can list what the different parts are and what some of the terms mean. As well as pictures of proper form and what not. I can also try and talk you thru some of it as well. But it really helps to have someone actually show you. That way they can look and see what you doing wrong.
