Скачать или смотреть Traditional Archery Shooting Tip | Do you cant the bow or not?

In this traditional archery shooting tip video we discuss the cant of the bow. Does canting my recurve bow when I shoot make a difference? Check out the t-shirt: http://catholichack.spreadshirt.com/a...

Recently, I saw on The Traditional Archer Facebook group a discussion on canting and its effects and why to do it and not to do it. There was quite a few comments, likes and shares and I thought what a great topic to produce a little video on.

If you have watched any of my videos you know that I tend to shoot not canted, straight up and down. I have shot many of the styles. I shoot instinctive, I've shot gap, I've shot string walking method. I've canted, not canted, and I prefer to shoot straight up and down. And the reason why is because I have found for me, that I will achieve far more consistency in my shot groups, shooting no cant, than I have canted.

Now, I know a lot of guys will say that they like to cant their bow because it opens up the shot window and you can see your target better, and, especially if your shooting with both eyes open, which most instinctive shooters do, they can then hyper focus on that point that's down range. And, you sort of, ignore everything else in the universe, just that one point and you. So they can send their arrow right at that point, and they find that canting their bow makes that easier to achieve. And uh, hey I believe em!

My personal style, if you have seen some of my other videos, as you know, is a kind of a combination of several things. I lean heavy towards the gap shooting. I used to shoot string walking method, which meant I would move my fingers down the string and depending on the distance to target. But, I have sort if adapted to this new composite style where I use this little piece of tape on the belly of my bow that has these little elevation markers. What I do is, I like to hyper focus on a point at that target and then use this little elevation chart in the peripheral vision. I don't focus on it, I don't really see it all that well, I'm focused on a single point, just like in instinctive shooting. Then I shoot no cant.

But, I can also shoot pure instinctive shooting where your not focused on anything but that single point. And when I do that, I cant. Now I also will ah, I will change my shot cycle up, I kind of stand in more of a fighting stance and then I bring up the tip of my arrow first and then I come to anchor. So it's slightly different than the style I shoot when I am not canted.

So, you know, at the end of the day heres what I have to say on wether to cant or not cant.... what works for you. You know, our body types are different, the way we anchor can be different in many ways. And, ultimately I think it matters when you find that style of shooting and you've developed a very consistent shot cycle. That's going to bring you the results that you are after. When you can repeat that process over, and over, and over again. Your going to find the success that you're looking for in archery.

So I want to encourage you to ah, you know to try the various styles. If you shoot canted, shoot not canted... see what it's like. You know, maybe your a hunter and your in a ground blind, well your going to cant more just because of the height issue. Or from a tree stand, your going to cant more because your trying to overcome some of those elevation issues. But, if your shooting at targets, try them all. Try canting and not canting. Try instinctive, try the gap method, try finger walking, try all of it and see what works and what doesn't work. Find that style and then repeat it over and over again.

So I want to hear from you, do you shoot canted or not canted? And Why? What's the benefit? What works for you? I would love to know. I love it when we have these discussions on these videos because I learn a lot. I have already got some incredible advice from several viewers on things that I am going to be incorporating into my own archery, to improve my skills and to achieve what I hope, and the goals I have set for myself. So I would love to hear from you, if you could subscribe to the channel, comment like and share below that would be incredible.

Do me a favor, pray for me that I shoot straight because I am praying for you that you shoot straight. Until next time, may God Richly Bless You!
