Stick and Sting Sunday, is the part of my blog where I will discuss bow hunting tips and tricks. Everything from learning to keep yourself sent free to perfecting your shooting form. This week where going to take a look at your bow grip and sight pictures.
Bow Grip
Let’s begin with your bow grip, one thing that a lot of shooters, especially the younger ones tend to do is hold there bow too tightly. This causes torque, which can destroy arrow flight and accuracy. Too much torque has even been known to cause sting derailment which is a major problem. With today’s cams, the ones with shallow grooves derailment are far more prominent. One way a lot of shooters seek to combat torque is to shoot with an open hand grip. However; this isn’t necessary or the best technique. When you pull the trigger you instinctively grasp the handle of the bow, putting all kinds of bad torque on your bow. Fortunately, there is a way to rid you of all unwanted torque. The trick here is to wrap your fore finger and your thumb around your grip and just let the rest of your hand relax. Allow the grip to be pulled into the pocket of your hand between your thumb and first finger and this will keep the torque out of your form.
Sight Picture and the Right Bow Sight
Your sight picture is what you see when looking through your peep and at your pins. A lot of people use the popular 3 of 5 pin sights, however; in the past 3 years I have fallen in love with the single pin adjustable sights. Imagine never having to put your target between your pins again. All you have to do is range the target, adjust the sight to the proper distance and let her fly. Using a one pin sight has another distinct advantage. No more bendy pins. blendy pins is the effect when your fiber optic pins glare together and cause you to lose your target. This becomes a real problem especially at first and last light, which is conveniently the time when deer move the most. So if you want to be the most effective shooter you can be by following these tips to perfect your form.
As always,
Good Shooting and God Bless,
