Default RE: Straight bow-arm vs. Bent bow-arm

Try to get beyond the form adaptation aspect for bowhunting purposes and conditions, or for comfort and relaxation. I am referring to the bent bow-arm shooting form that is often suggested vs. what historically was/is the standard form, when tuning everything for best arrow flight and accuracy….before heading to the field.

Being comfortable and relaxed does not always mean that a person's form is good. Nevertheless, if accuracy is good, and has been unwavering so for an extended period, then I will compromise and agree to leave things be. However, beware. If comfort and relaxation is derived from an adaptation of what is correct, and you decide to experiment with what is the correct method, things can go to hell in a hand basket very rapidly.
