5 Helpful Shooting Tips

*Back tension: When using back tension to trigger the shot, use only your draw-side rhomboid muscles to pivot your shoulder. These large, powerful muscles are located closest to your spine. This allows for “pulling” rather than a “pushing and pulling” motion, which is what you get when you use both sides of the rhomboids. This ensures consistency since pushing the bow arm out can cause irregular release pressure and left and right hits. *Use a thin bow grip: A thin grip minimizes surface area, which lessens the chance you’ll grip the bow wrong and torque it. *Come down on target: Most experts believe drawing with your sights just above the target and then lowering the sight pin into the bull’s eye is best since it requires less use of your arm muscles. This keeps you more relaxed and steadier on target. *Take long-range shots: Shooting a bow is largely a mental game so when you take shots at 60, 70 or 80 yards, and maintain good accuracy, you’ll consider 30 or 40-yard shooting rather easy. This will elevate your shooting confidence in the field. *Hook the trigger: When using a wrist-strap release, shorten the stem or strap on the release so that your finger has a deep grip on the trigger. This will allow you to form a “hook” using your finger. Note: the trigger should cross somewhere between the first and second knuckle. This makes trigger feel less sensitive and allows you to fire the trigger using your back, facilitating a surprise release.
