We need GNAS-sanctioned 'improvers' courses, and people should finish their beginners course knowing that in the ordinary course of events they will have a place on a course to take them up a level in about three months time. We need four or five levels like this, so that the courses are seen as 'stepping stones' to the ultimate goal. |
I agree completely with these points.
I started shooting recurve 2.5 months ago and find that once I had finished the beginners course I was pretty much left to my own devices.
Members of the lub have offered some advice, often though it conflicts. So know I am phaving to put is all through an internal filter to find out what works for me.
Recently it was noticed that at full draw my arrow tip is resting against or near my button. When theis was raised with one of the senior members they said "sounds like you're pushing your shot".
Great thanks, that means what exactly and also why do I need my sight adjusted all the way right?
So I have kept pushing my shot, working on my release and shooting at blank butts trying to improve my groupings with my sight adjusted all the way to the right.
If I wasn't so pig-headed I might well have walked before now.
