Proper method to Grip a bow Points to keep in Mind - You should feel weight of drawn bow centered against meaty part of thumb - Fingers should just lightly touch front of bow and be pointing 45 degrees to level ground. (if done properly bow will level itself 90 degrees to the ground) - Thumb cutout in grip is for reference only, do not apply pressure. - Heel part of hand should not touch grip. - Your wrist should be slightly broken towards the bow. ( the best way to understand this is to use the throttle on movement like you would on a motorcycle.) - You should be able to put your index finger between grip and palm of hand on left side of bow for right hand shooters, opposite for left hand shooters. - Do not open hand bow as the tendency to grab during shot is high - Balance bow so it will level and then slowly tip forward (consider it takes approx. 1/12 of a second for arrow to clear bow. You what absolutely no movement during this period). Good Shooting |
