TRADITIONAL BOWHUNTING AND WILDERNESS PODCAST EPISODES:

Yes. I work a lot of rotating shifts with my job and I’ve noticed if I am really tired I tend to swing the bow arm left or right more often. Great advice Jason . Only 4 more months till bow season!!

[SparkleDonkey]

Great video. This seems to me to be very much like asiatic style archery as you push the bow foward and pull back. Very efficient and results in a speedier draw. As you say, as long as the bow arm points in the right direction, all good.

I am proponent of keeping arm still as I do a forward dump, otherwise with an even worse mistake do a non weighted target style of shot letting the bow drop forward using a loose wrist or grip on the bow. I use a slight bent arm just due to my size and always with non target bows slap my arm with the bowstring almost every time except with the duel target hunting models with the bonus of the bent arm for better bow shock absorption. With hunting bows this is why I wear an armguard all the time when shooting as well due to string slap and just wear one with all bows including target models just due to having this is. Target bows for some reason if not too big say at or under 69 inches I will have a bow that does not get the arm slap or vary rarely do, unless the bow is bigger like a target bow over 70 inches it will slap my arm all the time due to size of bow. The string slap is why I need to either use the short target limbs on the standard 25 inch target bow or use a 23 inch target riser with medium sized limbs, even with cheaper target models that are flat limb target attachment the whole bow should be under 69 inches as over 70 inches I tend to get string slapped by over 70 inch target models of bows and have to use the bent arm without a target/pin sight on the bow or sight fixed to work for me but either way resulting in less accuracy from a target shooting bow that is meant for a vertical bow shot.

How do I stop myself from dumping the bow? I use a static arm, I just can't find any consistency with "pushing" the bow arm forward. However I can't figure out any cues for keeping it still.

[peterweikel]

completely unrelated, what size bicycle tube do you cut for your grip? i have a lot of different size tubes for different bicycles and i dont want to sacrifice more tubes then necessary

[jscott]

Good stuff as always Jason. Is your bow arm firm or relaxed? I guess that relates to your grip as well. Which would you recommend?

[caseymclamb]

Hey Jason, have ya noticed that when on the release you see that your arrow or fletching is inconsistent and that’s what’s really happening? I’ve noticed that personally and can’t quite figure out if it’s my form or my tuning of the arrow…

[jrhunt]

A strong bow arm separates the men from the boys in archery.
