I didn't shoot yesterday because I was very tired but, I did buy 2 hay bales to stabilize my target. It helped immensely when I shot today. I have two bales stacked horizontally behind my foam target and it keeps it from swiveling between each shot. Before my stance that was right for one shot would completely miss the next time. Now I just have to adjust the target between sets of arrows. I still miss sometimes now but not near as embarrassingly as much as the first few days ;) Granted I was much closer than yesterday but right now all my training is all about technique and not about scores.
I am working on my anchor point. It needs to be to the side of the chin and should my release be a surprise when I let go off the bow and the arrow flies? I've heard that with firearm target shooting. But you sort of need to deliberately let go of the string. Maybe I just don't have the hand strength of the dexterity to do that yet.
So for now I am going to keep working on my anchor point and my release. I am happy to say that the 30# draw weight is not near as hard to pull as it was last week. Getting stronger already. But man does the string cut into my fingers even with the finger tab. I am adding this tab to my wish list right now! Left handed version please!
