<strong>Shooting</strong> <strong>Selfbows</strong><br />

Every person is unique: physique, muscles, posture, flexibility, eyes, depth<br />

perception, mental attitude . . . We have to find a shooting style that best<br />

suits our disposition.<br />

Maybe you already thought of it when you read the headline, that your<br />

40# selfbow needs a new set of arrows that is even better tuned and<br />

the spine of the shafts is not 35# this time but 36#, because the arrows<br />

have been hitting a little too far to the right. You are already on the right<br />

track and have your bow under control, but there are basic adjustment<br />

screws you need to consider that prevent constant and never-ending<br />

tuning of the arrows and the bow right from the beginning.<br />

It’s no fun if you are constantly questioning your arrows and your bow:<br />

shortening arrows, increasing tip weight, extending<br />

arrows again with foreshafts, then again reducing<br />

tip weight, changing the brace height of the bow,<br />

moving the nock point, changing the anchor point,<br />

changing arm position, adjusting the pressure point<br />

on the bow, changing the pressure point in your hand . . .<br />

Above all, the consideration of the most<br />

important basics should protect you<br />

from dead-tuning your motivation.
