Johnnyb - phew
, so its not just me then! Thanks for the reassurance. I thought it must be something to do with the balance/distribution of weight etc when the bow is made up. Was beginning to think I was going nuts!
Paul - I knew I had read somewhere that you should use your back muscles for both holding the bow and drawing back on the string. I even found a video clip on the internet a few weeks back where a guy had videod himself without a shirt on so you could see the relevent muscles in action. Mind you, I have to admit it was all so quick I couldnt see anything! Thanks for the offer, I will pop down on Thursday for a chat and you can show me how its done
