Might be just me , inexperience or maybe just gotta get muscles used to drawing and firing a bow . When i draw ( 53# ) i hesitate on some shots , then i start to get a bit of a wobble and shoot off centre .

Is there a technique to composing yourself i'm missing or is it best to let off and redraw when ready ?

Also i use an omega finger release , would a wrist release be a better option for a new starter ? . I was thinkin of the scott mongoose release .

Thanks

I would definately try a wrist release, then make up your mind which one you like better.

Are you talking about your shoulder tiring? Or is your fore-arm getting sore or something. If so, I know this helped me. I just worked out and shot my bow as much as possible. I shoot mine on 70lbs but Im so out of shape right now its rediculous. Im probably going to reduce my poundage and reset my sights or sight. I just know that I wobble after a few sets and I start pulling my shots off as of right now and I know that exercise helps me hold'er a little bit steadier.

ALWAYS let down when the shot doesn't feel right. Take a deep breath or two and then try again when you've got your focus back.

Until you get your muscle tone built up you are going to shake when you hold you bow very long. However, you should realize that you cannot hold a bow perfectly still. Even when it seems you are locked on a target you are moving slightly. The key to good shooting is to let your pin float around the aiming point until the shot goes off. If you hold long enough to begin to shake, let down and start over. When you shake from holding too long, your holding arm becomes tense and you transfer the tension to the shot when you go ahead and release. Continue to practice and over a period of time, you will notice less and less shake and you will be able to hold longer before fatigue and shaking starts.

When you practice.

QUIT BEFORE YOU GET TIERD!!!!!!!!!!!

Fatigue will teach you bad habits.

You are much better off doing 10 "perfect" shots than 50 sloppy ones.

As you get tired you will naturally change your stance, you will lock your arm, and you probably will start grabbing the bow.

ALL BAD THINGS!

I know it is weird to go out and make 10 shots and quit, but trust me you are doing your self a favor in the long run.

Keep a log book and monitor your progress.

Slow down your practice.

You should be able to callany miss.

After the shot you are 2" high left , WHY, Grip, release, sight picture ?

Take a breath - visualize that last shot- Try it agian without the mistake.

Keep track of your shots, when that wobble starts, or you can't hold your breath long enough to get the shot off - STOP -you have exceeded your training limit.

Back off 5 shots and stay @ that level for 7-10 days - add 5 shots per session - after 7-10 days - add five more.

Keep in mind the FIRST shot of the session is the most important!

Up in thee tree, you arenot going to get a couple shots to get loose.

The sun is coming up you are cold and stiff 'there he is!'

All that FIRST SHOT PRACTICEis about to pay off.
