Default RE: Wrist and grip

Sissy is as sissy does. [8D][&:]

Nah!

What I'm talking about doesn't involve shooting at all. You load an arrow onto your string and go through the draw sequence but don't shoot.

Here's what you do. Hold your bow out already pointed at target, with the pin in the dot. Then draw straight back, slowly. If the pin pulls UP off the target, take off a half turn from your top limb or add a half turn to the bottom limb or both.

Naturally, if the pin pulls DOWN, you do the opposite and take weight off the bottom limb and add to the top, or both.

Then repeat. Keep up the draw and adjust thing until the bow sits solid as a rock all the way through the draw. It will make your grip a lot more comfortable and consistent.

When I make my adjustment, I slide my hand up the grip until it stops, where the grip starts flaring out into the shelf. That is where I establish my grip and make my tiller adjustments to accomodate that grip position.

You might need to adjust your nockset height after you get through, but it will make tuning your arrow flight SO much easier when you've got the bow cooperating with your grip instead of fighting you.
