RE: Made some changes...

Just kidding. But hunting form, IMPO, should allow a lot more flexibility while maintaining certain rigidity in thecase of anchor points. The reason is that the target is unpredictable and the conditions and circumstances can change drastically.

This is why I don'texactly have proper indoor spot form.......I need a little hunting form flexibility built in which is why my stance is the way it is and why it's so important for me to be able to (what I call)"stay behind the shot".
I compete in 3D archery only and the demands of shooting in uneven terrain where I might be shooting 40 yards on a 30 degree angle UPHILL on one shot only to turn around and shoot the same distance DOWNHILL.
I need that blend of precision and flexibility.....and of course the foam ain't goin' anywhere so the shot progression is ALL target archery.

When I get into a treestand in the fall, the form is there but the shot progression is much quicker and simply transferred to a different style release that will allow me to shoot as quickly as needed or precisely as needed......everything I do is so repeatable that I can speed up or slow down the process as much as I want and for the most part still get a similar end result

As long as everything else is done properly I (or anyone else)can get away with a surprising amount of command or "punch" in the trigger which is often (reads almost always)a demand in real life hunting situations....... If the archer isn't tuned hunting accuracy will suffer in the transition.

PS. Choose your release wisely!IMO from experience heavy, no travel double sear releases that lend themselves to target archerycan bea liability in the woods.
