Default I can't not cant :)

My shooting had turned to dog chit for a few days and I couldn't figure it out. I just couldn't get that sight picture I was looking for. Well, I startedchecking all my form, spend days working on release, bow arm, anchor, etc. Then it hit me...... I was hardly canting the bow at all...... Between 12 and 1 oclock. I always shoot best with atleast 2 oclock cant....... Well, I implemented the change and whamo, I'm back in the game....... I haveno idea why I was decreasing cant.... It must have been happening slowly and not enough to notice all at once........

So now, as I practice my daily 30 or so form shots, I throw in a few just to engrain the cant.....

Who else can't not cant

I cant my longbow at about 1:30. This lines up my arrow right under my pupil and matches the rest of my form.

Saw Gary Sentman once, and he gave some advice that works for me--cant your head and bow at the same angle. It keeps everything lined up the same, regardless if you have to shoot straight up or horizontal--at least for me it does.
