This is a bit more of a boring post so that I can collect my thoughts about the accurate arrows that I have shot over the last couple of days. I am going to start with my bow arm and then go to my string hand and finally my anchor point.
My bow arm is most accurate with a relaxed hand and with my thumb knuckle rotated around as much as I can. The real key is making sure that my bow arm is fully straight.
My string hand needs to have a deep and rigid hook with a thumb that falls below my jawbone.
The anchor point has three distinctive points right now, possibly a fourth with some fine tuning. Right now, there is the feather on the end of my nose, thumb under my jawbone and my pointer fingertip on my the bottom of my eye socket. The release is subconscious and goes off once the sight picture looks right.
The sight picture looks right when the point of the arrow is right of the desired point of impact. Recently I have noticed something about my feather that touches my nose. The top edge of the shield feather (feather is laying horizontally) is lined up with the desired point of impact. This automatically puts the the point oof my current full length GT Trad 55/75 with 125 up front to the right and allows for an accurate shot. I will need to seek advice about this arrow alignment.
