Five steps to improve your bow hunting
Accuracy and consistency are two factors that bow hunters’ need to master to achieve shooting success. Here are our five tips to help develop your understanding and confidence in the principles of bow hunting.
Tip 3: Aim
Depending on the mode selected (instinctive shooting or viewfinder) the approach is very different but nonetheless still requires consistency to obtain good results. Although the use of a viewfinder is more comfortable in theory, it also has some drawbacks. Fatigue, stress and ambient light are factors that could disrupt your shooting. It is essential to practice in real conditions to understand your limits and adapt your equipment accordingly.
Tip 5: Follow Through
Too often beginners tend to drop their bow arm or immediately move after the arrow has left the bow window. Over time this often-unconscious reaction affects the accuracy and consistency of the shot. The ‘follow through’ is to resist the desire to immediately check the target. You must simply try to stay in line with your initial firing position and observe the ‘release’ provided by the delivery. Finally, Practice makes perfect!
