Episode notes
Use A Stable Bowstring And Anchor
- Invest in a high-quality string (e.g., Gasp bowstring) that won't stretch or shift.
- Make durable anchoring points (peep, kisser) a non-issue before heading into the field.
Balance Your Bow For Faster Aiming
- Balance your bow with quiver weight so the level steadies quickly in the heat of the moment.
- Use sidebar weights to keep the bubble from bouncing and speed your shot process.
Weight And Wrist Strap Aid Stability
- A heavier, rigid riser and wrist strap improve stability and reduce torque during one critical hunting shot.
- Let the bow rest in your hand instead of gripping to avoid inducing error.
