A few quick tips for shooting primitive or self bows. These apply to all traditional archery but are good to remember when shaking out the rust. Living in Vermont I don't get to shoot that much in the winter. Here a a few tips on starting back up with shooting in the spring. As a bonus I show a new bow I made that is a reflex deflex from Osage Orange.
In watching this you can see that the refelx defelx is a little strong for me at this point of the season. Just before I shoot I let down a little which is bad form. Your shot release should gently open through and back a hair not trail forward with the string.
Video yourself to get rid of bad habits!
