Did you ever just have one of those days???
 

I was trying to do some practice shooting yesterday afternoon, and I gave up after two rounds of five arrows. I knew it was me torquing the bow, but no matter what I did, I couldn't stop. Each time I aimed, the pins looked like the attached picture. I think that some days it's best to just stop and try again tomorrow....

some days it does not all go good. That is archery

How do you hold your bow?

RE: Did you ever just have one of those days???
 

All heel. No part of the palm side of the "life-line" touches the grip. Index finger curled around until the fingertip just lightly touches the front of the riser, the other three fingers curled but not touching.

I have had those times when i just couldnt shoot straight. Normally im hungover! [8D]

No but seriously i just normally take a break for a while and then get back at it.

Yeah, we all have those days. Like when your pin is floating in a 10" circle on a dot 10 yards away. Sometimes it's best to just put the bow away and do something else.

Ok

Do you have a sight with a level on it?

RE: Did you ever just have one of those days???
 

Yes, my sight has a level, and I've been using it constantly. I've gotten to where I "almost" don't need it, but still use it anyway. I noticed that when I started practicing out of my climber, what looks straight up and down isn't necessarily straight up and down.

Yep, some daysyou think you could hit anything, some days you could not hit the side of the barn, I know the feeling.

Yep. Best thing to do is hang it up for the day. Don't want to unknowingly develop any bad habits.
