| stance
showing your back more to the target means your closing your stance. (I think) everyone is different so find one that your comfortable with... that eye closing trick is a good one. do it regularly if you change stuff with your shot.
the spine on the arrow is how stiff it is. its matched to the poundage you pull back/ the power you put into the arrow.
look up youtube, dont have the link on me and ye can see slow motion arrows flying out of bows. beiter and slowmotion should find it for you. they wobble like crazy even when shot perfectly. they kinda bend around the bow on the way out if your in tune (your arrow is the right spine). im a recurver so i dunno how well this works with longbows.
the most popular stance is an open one with the back foot 90 degrees to the target. opening or closing your stance makes you less likely to wobble in a side wind...
