RE: proper bow arm position
 
Thanks for calling me that. I'll be sure to forward it on to the right people. You could have ignored me just as well but yet every post I make that you differ in opinion on you seem to want togo out of your way to try to prove something. I'm not sure why people have to resort to name calling and I'm pretty sure that swearing on these forums isno no.

Here's why I disagree with you on presenting the Olympic Target Traditional form.

You can actually give someone too much information. You are probably intelligent enough to know that the vast majority of people who come on here are hunters and want to know how to do something for hunting. People disagree with you so you pull out forms for traditional shooting when you know that's not what the person was probably asking about. I would never show an archery how a form works for another type of bow unless they asked me about that type of bow. You overload their mind and they'll be thinking of a 1000 different things at the same time.Always follow the KISS principle.

Keep
It
Simple
Stupid

Idon't usually postin threads you have participated inbecause it always turns into something like this.

I was in agreement with everything that was being discussed and stated as much.When the subject played out,I gave some more info because it had been stated that a locked bow arm is never acceptable.That isn't true and the info in this thread quite clearly stated the relaxed straight bow arm is the best conceived form for compounds,I believe the original poster was completely capable of understanding thatand was quite capable of separating the two.

I said alocked bow arm is not acceptable and I stand by that.

We are still on a hunting website...correct?

Or did I venture into a target shooters/olympic form?

Just asking.

I said I was done with this thread but there was a question directed at me.


This is a hunting site but we are on a technical forum and imo,that covers all things technical and mechanics are technical.Mechanics involved in all venues should be able to be discussed without being ridiculed for it.


Your statement used the word never and that simply isn't the case.On a compound,it is readily accepted that we shouldn't lock our bow arm,I agree with that 99% of the time.(always the exception to the rule)

As compound shooters, we should never lock the bow arm. If you are locking the bow arm, you are not properly fitted for your draw length.

That is plain and simple 100% of the time.

The most important things to remember are: whatever your form is, it must be able to be replicated time and time again, it must be comfortable to you and it must produce the same results (aka arrow flight) each time.

I've seen some archers have horrific forms, but they can shoot the lights out. That doesn't mean they are wrong!

I am not ridiculing you. Those that live in glass houses should not throw stones.
