TDietz 439 Posted February 13, 2018 (edited) I'm just going to agree with Nomad on all things trad seriously, I do think a guy can overthink this stuff. what's that theory about doing something ten thousand times? I have a anchor point that I use for close shots, then I subconsciously change it a bit when shooting farther...I don't have a clue as to what my system is called, works for me Edited February 13, 2018 by TDietz 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paralysis by analysis If you're changing anchor points, that's called face walking. instead of adjusting where you're holding the string, you're adjusting where it touches your face. 6 of one, half dozen of the other...

ABLongbow 2 Posted February 13, 2018 I use Rick Welch's method not exactly the same but I had good luck with that and I've been using it since I started shooting Trad archery Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerseyhunter 326 Posted February 13, 2018 When I started shooting back in the late 60's I purchased the Archer's Bible by Fred Bear, very informative with pictures. About 50 yrs later and I still have it in my book case tattered but the original. I also acquired a second copy many years later, because some things never change. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My mother threw my original out, I'm sure she thought it was blasphemous, but I got another one off ebay 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Swampbuck 32 Posted February 13, 2018 Any trad guys string walk at all? I'm just starting to get into trad archery and watched this guys video. Its very informative and he mainly talks and breaks down his technique of string walking and using a "25 yard fixed crawl". It is surprisingly accurate and for just starting out I am shooting some pretty solid groups out to 20 yards. Just curious if anyone else is shooting this technique. I know trad archery is " journey" for everyone. Around 1:05 he talks specifically about it in a little more detail. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1E1vKkSSoNs Hey Mallard ! When i first started trad many years ago, i tried three under, walking but the best that worked for me in the end was split finger, 100 % instinctively.
