Default RE: need some help with my recurve



As far as aiming...just point the arrow at the target. If the bow is made well and the arrows are tuned it' ll fly straight. However good form is neccessary for consistent flight. So like Brain said, keep it ten and under and work on form. If you' ve shot a compound you probly have good form already, but work on form anyways ' till you' ve adapted well. Concentrate on things like a consistent anchor, solid bow arm, good back tension, and a smooth, clean release. Like Brian said, there are different ways to accomplish these things, but that' s the basics of good form. After you get your from down you' ll have most of your accuracy right there. It' s my belief that accuracy with a traditional bow is mostly good form and the rest a matter of lining the arrow up and learning how the arrows fly out of your bow. It' s not a machine and there are no magic buttons, but have fun and be patient and you' ll love the exhiliration of hitting what you want to with a traditional bow.
