string pic over sight?

[eastdesign]

when i aim my string blur is directly over the sight ring and hence arrows go dead straight into the gold, is this ok? because the string blur obscures the sight slightly because it is directly over it. can i change the alignment of the string? is it just a case of moving my head? do i need to change it? does anyone else have there string blur directly over the sight pin?

any help or comments on this subject would be grealty appreciated

The discussion here: http://www.archery-interchange.com/f...g-picture.html might be worth reading.

You say "when i aim my string blur is directly over the sight ring and hence arrows go dead straight into the gold, is this ok?"; not only is it OK it's a miracle, why would you want to change it?

well the only thing is at longer distances the string blur blocks my view of the sight, hence me thinkning i should change the string pic to compensate for this, when i say they go in the gold, they dont always : ) just wanted to see what peoples views of this were, i had a read of the related link but it didnt seem to cover this specific question

Sorry, what I'm actually saying is you'd be better off adopting one of the more conventional strategies for aiming, string blur to the right of the sight ring (RH archer) or string blur parallel with the edge of the sight window. That way coaches will have a better chance of making sense of your form. Plus you'll be able to see where you're aiming at all distances!

so how would i adopt this new string picture? is it just a case of moving my head? and/or altering my anchor/reference point?

Move your bow arm.

sorry dont mean to sound stupid, but how would i move it and how would that effect my string picture? do you mean angle it so its not so parrale to my chest etc? (move it out if viewed from the top)

Just move it slightly to the left until the string blur aligns with the RH side of the sight ring.

Eastdesign, can you please clarify something for me?
The string blur covers your sight pin at short distances and that is ok for you, yes? Why is it not ok for you at longer distances?
I am having trouble "seeing" why it blocks your view of the pin at longer distances and not at the shorter ones.What I would expect to happen is, the string blur covering the pin in the same way at any distance. Either blocking your view of the pin at all distances or not blocking it entirely, whatever the distance.

yeah sorry i need to clarify, at eighteen metres i use a 40cm face in my garden, the string blur covers the sight pin but i can still the target face ok, but its not ideal, when i shoot 50m my local club uses the standard size face for that distance (fita rules) so the string blur really interferes with the view of the target face, an i was wondering if anyone else has this string picture, and how i might change it so the string blur is to the right of the sight housing. its really bugging me as i no you have to line up the string and sight together like a gun sight and my string lines up with my limb bolt adjusting screws, so i cant see how to change my string picture, it has to do with my head position doesnt it?
