So back at target shooting since summer this year after a 4 - 5 year break at the NFAS and becoming a snap shooter (!). Worked on anchoring properly etc. The biggest shock to the system was the riser weight. All of lockdown enabled me to work more on form/blank boss to where I'm comfortable for now. But once facing a target it was difficult again. Initially I had my crawl but would shoot "instinctive" or even snap shoot but that's slowly ironing itself out and a vast proportion of shots are as controlled as can be so that appears to go well with the talking to myself part...
One thing that I'm not able to resolve is aiming. Aiming comes after anchor and string alignment but I find (at 18m for eg) when I'm settled in I then have to raise the bow arm/swivel at hip a la longbow to bring lollipop the gold. This gets tiring with a heavy bow and plays on the mind too. Any work around a welcome. ATM I've tried to set the arrow point first then draw but still ends up below the point on. Another is to start high over the target face but that feels awkward (something to work past?). So the oly recurve equivalent would be what is the path of the sight pin before settling around the gold?
Thanks
