RE: Lining up your shot
 

I'm no expert, but from what I've read from a few members on here and over on AT, it's common in the shot process to devote some period of time (obviously small) to checking level on the site, and adjusting the pin placement. Once I get the pin settled, THEN I begin my target focus/shot execution process. I don't go back to the pin once this starts, and I think that's where issues can come up. You get your pin situated, then start the shot execution, then refocus on the pin, and adjust, then try to go back to the shot execution, etc.

Again, I'm FAR from an expert, this is just what I've gathered from reading a bit.

So when your pin's floating, EI......does it float only up or only down?

Why does it "have" to be one way or the other?

IU never really thought about what that.. LOL I just draw aim and shoot.

RE: Lining up your shot
 

Good point on the float. My pin floats wherever it wants. I was refering to when I first draw back and settle in (check the level, bring the pin down on to the point, and then start the float). Not sure it really matters how you do it, I just come down from the top.

Generally when shooting, a person will either raise or lower their bow to get spot on for the shot. They don't go from left or right to get on target. Think about it.

well i have target panic an come up on the target.. then i lock up about an inch below the target then i gotta pull my self up lil bit more before i shoot... i know i know its not good but way to late in the year to even begin to try an fix it... so i jus deal with it..

RE: Lining up your shot
 

EI I'm not arguing with you at all. I'm just thinking about what I do. I know I do consciously try to keep my target in my sight window. I don't much worry about it after that.

Interesting......but I don't think I have a "method" of raising or lowering. It's usually "pretty close" before I get to the point of making my downrange target my only focal point.

RE: Lining up your shot
 

That's EXACTLY what I'm referring to.;) And like I said already, there's no right or wrong.

RE: Lining up your shot
 

I try to draw back on my target but i almost always come up to low. It also depends on how big of dot i am shooting at on my target.... if it is big i always freeze up my sight right below it and i don't no why. But if it is small, i can usually cover it if i come from below.

I am pretty much where I need to be by the time I get my anchor settled in and look through the peep, if were talking about shooting flat footed on the ground at a target.
From a tree stand I always come down on it, bending at the waist.
