What do you think about at full draw?(the crazy thoughts we have)
I had an interesting discussion last night at the archery shop with some buddies about what you think about at full draw. It was our Traditional night when we have about 8 or 9 guys shooting longbows and recurves, so you could only imagine the responses we gave. [8D]LOL.
So what do you think about at full draw weather its on the 3D range, in the woods, or even just punching paper. Im sure this will be an interesting topic;) Well I guess I should clarify the question. I know everyone just focuses on the intended target and either goes through their shot process. But I know we ALL have had that time or times when we think about some crazy stuff at full draw. Thats what I want to hear about. |
RE: What do you think about at full draw?
When I'm shooting well I'm consciously focused on the x ring once I've hit my anchor point. Before that I'm focused on mentally walking through the steps in my shot sequence, and visualizingthat perfect shot. Once I hit anchor though and it all feels right, I commit andflip the switch and the only thing I'm thinking of is x ring. If something pops it's head up to break that concentration it's time to let down, regroup, and start over.

Usually talking my way thru the shot, like one more step.....

RE: What do you think about at full draw?
I always concentrate on my form, and make sure that I'm ready to follow through after the shot.

RE: What do you think about at full draw?
My mind is blank of everything buy the expected POI. Even when I am hunting I try concentrate on the exact POI only. When I am really in the zone I have had people speak to me from behind me and I do not hear them. I dont feel or hear a thing, and I get tunnel vision. I am thinking this may be a bad thing in the woods when I should still be aware of my surroundings through the shot but its how I shoot best. My next hurdle is to become more consistant with the concentration for wvery shot.

I try to think as little as possible, the whole draw process has become natural and if something isnt right I feel it immediately. Just focus on where I want to hit.
Its like golf for me, the more I concentrate and nit pick all aspects of my shot process, the greater my slice will be! |

I always think ..... Gee, how am I gonna mess this one up:D
Or , I can taste those backstraps right now! :D Either way, they both lead to misses ..... 2 ditches :eek: |

After getting solid peep alignment, level and pin on. I need something else to thing about because its the next second that either makes or breaks me on a good shot or a bad one. When I overthink it, its over.
