| aiming a longbow
I have been using a longbow for a couple of months now and getting some reasonable groups (at times) but I am still not convinced I am aiming the bow correctly ?
Any advice would be gratefully received
i.e. When aiming the arrow should I be trying to line the bow string with the centre of the bow then aim the tip of the arrow at my POA?
I have been trying to do it this way but I am finding that to get the string in line with the bow very difficult, in fact I am finding the only way to do this is to swing my bow arm out to the right or tilt my head forward both of which I don't think is a very good idea ????
Also, should I be holding the string with the tips of my fingers or should I sit the strings in the fold of my first joint in my fingers ?
BTW - I draw to the corner of my mouth
