Locked in my home due the virus, I am limited to daily archery practice in my 'garden' which is only big enough for 5 - 6 metres shooting.
As I am nearly at intermediate level I am enjoying the opportunity to practice my form. So far, I have improved several aspects to a point where I can get really tight groups.
I am shooting Easton superlite A/C/C arrows on a recurve barebow and have been gap shooting. For the past few days I have made a determined effort to learn string walking.
After sorting out where to set the 5 metre crawl string indicator (at 2 1/2 inches below the arrow nock) I can usually place the arrow right on the target in the vertical plane. However, the arrows usually end up 2 - 3 inches right of the target.
I have tried applying a negative tiller but that made very little difference. Winding the plunger all the way in hasn't made much difference.
Is this a typical result and what can I do to correct it? I really do want to learn to use string walking over 40 - 50 range when we are finally allowed out to play at the range but am starting to doubt that it will be something that I can achieve.
Any helpful advice would be welcome.
