ADVICE

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.
ADVICE

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.
INSIGHT

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.
