One thing to note is the use of the clicker. If someone draws through and waits two seconds before loosing, they are not in the same situation that is being discussed here. I am not belittling that technique, but the hesitation isn't there because the click is not the trigger for their shot. The clicker is a stage that they go through before the loose is even considered.
For those who loose on the c of click, the hesitation is real enough and most of us know how that feels. My initial question was about why? Why do so many hesitate?Putting all your posts together it seems there is a common factor. "Getting the priority wrong".
Over aiming. Waiting for the click. Forgetting to draw. Thinking I'm drawing when I'm not. Losing the flow. Focussing on the clicker.
All the above were seen as faults. Detracting from the real priority. Perhaps the solution for those with clicker hesitation is to know what is priority number one.Then to make sure it is their number one priority.The aspect they will not compromise. For many it is the aim. Even if it shakes, the shot will go, so long as the sight is roughly in the gold , if only temporarily.
If I have understood you correctly, the priority should be a quality aim built on a quality draw; and the key word is "priority". |
Totaly agree Geof i think i have suffered most of the above & only been shooting 2 1/2 years, things are so bad ill be at full draw stareing at the gold through my sight holding a good steady shot & drawing waiting for clicker & nothing ? then somone elses clicker goes & my arrows gone, 7 next arrow in draw pull through clicker havent even aimed miss, looking at this thread has helped as i know what i need to focus on cheers
