| I'm pretty much with sp220 - at setup, you should visually check your bowhand position and set your string fingers under a bit of tension (part draw). After setting the bowarm and elbow, raise the bow - at this point, you can do some general aiming. Identify the target, reach your bowarm towards the target, draw to where the arrow tip starts to go down the clicker. Anchor.
Now, start to really aim and expand through the clicker.
Especially for beginners, if you aim from the beginning, your body position probably won't be correct (generally, slouched). Early aiming also interrupts your shot sequence and probably means that you won't get all the other items under control because you're too concentrated on the aim. Then there's target panic...
Aiming tends to override other concerns and your attention if it's not where it needs to be - on proper shot execution.
There is also a mental and perhaps physical limit on how long you can concentrate on aiming - a few seconds.
Aiming is a natural act, as opposed to the other elements of shooting, so the aim will take care of itself if you do it at the right point of the sequence.  |
