reversals-fully loaded

[bkupris]

I have stumbled across what I consider to be a very interesting conudrum. I do reversals pretty regularly because this time of year I can't get out and shoot as much as I would like. I do them in front of a mirror to check my form, alignment etc. I usually do them with my heavier poundage trad recurves on my fingers (without a formaster) training aid.

I decided today to do my reversals but with an arrow in the bow. What a difference! It 's so much more effective for getting in line and it completely changes the way I draw back the bow and get set for the release.

Have any of you found this to be the case?

Yes, but don't smash the mirror when the clicker goes off, it happened to a member of our club a few years back!!!

Haven't tried it recently - two wardrobe doors, a foam mattress and a glass poster frame have made me wary (not like a friend - double glazed patio doors - ouch!).

But I'm always aware that the whole ball game changes when you get an arrow on the bow. Changes again, when you go through to release it, and again when you aim, and also when you try to get it in the middle (not necessarily for the better, that last one). A matter of focus, I think.
