RE: High Grip / Low Grip

Hi Radsbow, I've been working on the same problem. The coach at my club suggested I use the bottom limb hitting my leg as a "reference point" to determine whether my bow arm was consistent. This never seemed to work - the bow would variously hit my leg, land in my pocket, hit me under the chin - so I started bending my wrist after the shot, so the bow would swing round clear of my body.
Only problem was that the wrist-bending movement crept into the shot and I started dropping arrows to the right . I've since been trying to work on keeping a steady wrist and sod where the bow goes after the shot - it's largely irrelevant as the arrow's already gone! Hopefully, in time, the bow's movement will become more consistent.
