skifrk nailed it. Push/Pull.

This is something I’ve struggled with for years. I’m much more accurate shooting 3-under, more comfortable shooting split. I’ve often pondered why the difference. Personally, I think besides the ‘nock pinching’ issue some have talked about, I think split finger shooters inadvertently ‘torque’ the string at anchor. And also, in my case, when shooting 3 under and using the pointer finger in the corner of the mouth, the arrow nock is actually more in line with my eye, the rear sight. The absolute best way I have come across to increase my accuracy, with either method of anchor, is Asbell’s “Push/Pull”. When I get that right, my split finger accuracy is close to my 3 under. Shoot the way, aim the way, YOU want. What you do naturally is what you’ll do consistently. And that’s what you want.

I just finished shooting my 80’s something #65 Martin Hatfield. It still smokes a heavy cedar arrow with barely a whisper. I had a Howatt Hunter I carried for many years until it cracked on me at a 3-D shoot about 7 years ago. Since then, I have tried many different makes and models of recurve, custom and production, but was never really satisfied. None could ever compare with the Hunter. Which is why I have decided to order a new one.

in reply to: Scent proof? #32579

To answer the question about just how this particular dog ONLY followed his scent and not the scent of the other people in the video. This animal is trained as a “Scent Specific Tracker” We use such animals to track escaped cons in populated areas. Most other hounds are ‘pack dogs’ and follow the track their put on. Obviously, this particular dog had his scent long before he laid his track. And NOTHING covered it up.
