The bow arm
I have been shooting alot lately. And I have came to the conclusion that a good steady solid bowarm is more important than a good release. I constantly worry about a good release, which is important I might add. But I notice I will hit the mark more often when I concentrate on the bow arm. I know it all plays together and you want your shoulder down, crisp release, and bow arm solid. But when I shoot too much like 60-80 arrows at a sitting, my release is still pretty good, but my bow arm starts dropping or moving at the release. Thats when I start missing. So I was pretty wore out last night, and still feeling the urge to fling some more arrows, and concentrated only on keeping that bow arm pushing where I want that arrow to go. And I hit awesome from 10 yards to 30 yards, even fatigued.
Who agrees? Thats the tough part about traditional, is you need to be able to concentrate on the spot and do this thoughout the whole process, but in the same time, concentrate on your anchor, concentrate on your release, and concentrate on the bow arm. Alot of concentration there. I know I have neglected the bow arm too much lately.
