Default RE: Got my longbow

I can vouge for Schulz, I have learned from his video and book. But if you buy the video, you really don't need to buy the book (Hitten em like Howard). There is really nothing more in the book then the video. I have also learned from Ferguson's book and Hill's.

Schulz has another book out there called "“Straight Shooting", but I can't seem to find it anywhere. If anyone happens to know where I canbuy a copy (or borrow), let me know.

Default RE: Got my longbow

Big, I have noticed that when shooting a recurve, you should only be basically gripping the bow with the crotch of your palm...( part between your thubmb and pointer finger), and slightly touching your thumb and pointer todether on the back side of the bow......basically cradling(Sp) in the crotch of your hand. On a long bow, however, you should grip it with you whole hand........not too tight........and "heel it" when you draw back and shoot. That has what I have been taught, please let me know anyone if this is incorrect.? Also, I have noticed many times i am catching myself dropping my bow arm when releasing. In the anticipation of the shot placement, I am looking"where I am shooting" insted of relying upon my instincts, which is what we as traditionalist are supposed tobe doing. We, I'm sure all do it here and there, but the best way to kick it is to pay no attention the where the arrow ends up, but to where your bow arm, release arm, bow, release hand....etc, all end up after the release. It all has to do withconcentration and focus.

I hopethis helps a little.?
