Three things I did this weekend when I watch Rob and buckeye shoot.

Rob and buckeye both notice I tend to shoot while moving sometimes. Rob madea comment about trusting your float. This really sank in, I just shot 12 best arrows I have in a long time form wise. I floated over my aiming point.

Rob notice I was coming out of my shot, I feel this was because my fobs push my anchor out. I was not "in" the shot.

Blazers are on and it feels great.

Buckeye and Rob gave some great tips this weekend

Yes it was, around the bon fire I mentioned to Germ you need to float and buckeye said, "And trust your float". Excellent advice. We both commented that you will never get the job done just doing a drive by. (trying to jerk the shot when passing over the target).

Yep, sure is nice to get a second or third point of view on your shooting style. Rob and his friend Nate helped me quite a bit. I'm still battling the mental aspect (particularly pin float), but it's getting better. Great minds on this site for sure.

It was the trust your float that sunk in.

Well I used to use the word settle, but it think now it was a big part of my issue. I tried to hold pin "stready", I think that is why I shoot so much better from further out. I did'nt try to "hold" the pin on the target.
