Thanks Geoff - nowhere have I seen/read/heard this info (nowhere that I recall)...another gem, a diamond in fact...and so succintly put.Thanks for sharing that. Sure there's info on 'getting in line' but that rule of thumb?...No.
So often a lot of trial and error shows up gaps in knowledge and understanding that the more experienced have long since filled.
I've not understood before that shooting off of the back
and the shoulder muscles would need a consistent 'balance' between the two muscle groups - get it all on the back...and you need no inconsistent 'balance'!
Some time back I had considered after being told that getting into line was something I couldn't achieve due to my being NOT the perfect shape/bone sizes for an archer...maybe I/they were wrong...
now lets go trash some more arrows!
