        And hit jack shit because her arrow is super not straight in relation with her eyes ( for aiming )

        … Still an awesome picture though. I just shiver to imagine they let her do it AND let her do it so badly lol

          Looking along the arrow for a traditional recurve is a good way to miss, there’s generally nothing to line up unless you fit a sight to the bow. It’s all by feel

            Euh, what. Ye, no. I do archery with a recurve, no attachments or anything. Left eye is dominant, so right hand holds the bow, arrow is on the left side of the bow and left hand pulls back. Now, i do stringwalking so the arrow is higher up, but thats because my right eye is shit and i have bad focus.
            Left hand under my left jaw. Arrow is a straight line from left eye to bow and to the target down the range.
            If you have an indentation in the grip like i do, then its straight. If you dont then yes its slightly off, but thats practice and even then its pretty straight if you hold it right…

              How interesting. I hunt with a traditional recurve, 50lb Hoyt Buffalo

              Aim is entirely by feel, I look only at the target. Of course form is important but there’s no aiming or lining anything up visually
