RE: MY BEST GROUP!!
oh i forgot to say, that the first shot i took i smacked my wrist hard with the string. so i put a arm gaurd on and i kept hitting my wrist. i tried changing the way i held my wrist, but it either felt really uncomfortable, almost like the bow was gonna fall out of my handswhen i shot, or i just smacked my wrist again. can anyone give me tips on how to hold it so its comfortable and i dont hit my wrist?
thanks
thanks

RE: MY BEST GROUP!!
Nice groups.... You're probably hitting your wrist b/c you're locking your elbow or you have your arm rotated too far inward....... Do a search on this forum for a recent thread about gripping the bow....

Nice groups! You must be a natrural.
Remember to rotate your elbow out. Also, like others mentioned, do not lock your elbow. What was the distance of your shots? They're sticking in the target nice and straight.

It could be a too low of brace height on the bow, you may have to give a couple of twists on the string. I know if i have a low brace on my bow i tend to get wrist slapped at times.

Remember that bow is not a toy.
Good shooting, Peace.

RE: MY BEST GROUP!!
thanks everyone. i shot from pretty close, a little under ten yards maybe. but i was in my basement and it was my first time shooting so i didnt want to shoot from too far away. and i did twist the string like alex told me before but maybe i didnt twist it enough.
