Abusing “TED” with the recurve ….

[flukebelly]

The sitting shoot was at 40yds, ( full disclosure….first shot nailed him, then i only hit him every 3 or 4 shots. The “ ballon knot” shot was in honor of my buddies colonoscopy at 25 yds. No problems there…except for ted !

Thanks,

everyone will/should tell you the same thing…start with a lighter draw weight bow ( even if you think its too light ),only shoot at 5-10yds until you can consistently group , perfect your form before moving up in weight or out in distance.

you’ll get it !

Yeah I started at 12 yards and I’m getting consistent groupings  now. Haven’t solidified the anchor thing yet (I think). I’ll group perfect one round, then my next round I’ll still be grouping, but my groups will be to the left. Almost always when my groupings are off, they are to the left. I think that’s because it’s not a center shot bow? Super fun learning and seeing things starting to come together. At first my shots would be all over the 16x16 target (some off the target). Now that I’m grouping more consistent, it helps with confidence. It has been addicting though.
