            Good post Steve.

            It’s not always the slobs on the road either. Every year in the fall our local scout group has an archery function at our range.

            I set targets for them (we had 52 boys shooting :D:D last fall )and the boys always help me take them down and put them up.

            The scouts also have a policy of leaving a place cleaner than they found it and they did so at the range.

            To make a long story short, I was embarrassed way bad last year (this year I will make it a point to go out a day early and empty the trash can), the trash cans were overflowing with beer bottles and beer cans. Plastic water bottles and plastic wrappers everywhere. I hadn’t been out there in awhile as I’d been hunting and thus didn’t know how bad things were.

            I ain’t gonna say where all that comes from but I will say that our trad group doesn’t gather up at the practice bails and shoot dots for hours at a time. Nuff said on that.

            Any way, slobs not only travel the roads, they take their slobbing with them wherever they go. .

                  Dang, if my string arm would do what that dude’s arm does, I’d be in heaven… But I have to tell you Ralph, that ain’t no “rock wall” he’s living on, at least not any more… 😳 🙄 😀

                      Maybe it’s about the timing of the thinking through??? Better have it thought through thoroughly and figured out before the time of need.

                      I’m no way debating learning to shoot open, closed, backwards stance or whatever, you just need to learn what works for you, get good at it and do it.

                      Not debating reading, watching videos, which, by the way, are a great advantage now as to when I began.

                      The touchdown pass, or the strike three pitch to win the series is no different than the arrow you’re fixing to loose. Those folk do what they do well, have repeatedly done it as that also needs to be done when shooting a bow. They practiced, they were taught technique but it boils down to that they use their natural ability to perform in the manner of the best that they are.

                      If technique was all there was to it, practice technique and we’d all shoot the same with the same results. That works for Olympic style pretty good, for the most part all factors of the shot are known, but….

                      “It matters not who, where or when, the jerking of the trigger, the brain fart exists.” (Me:roll:)

                      I’m simply saying if you got it going, work on making YOUR skill better. That includes for some, blind bale shooting, drawing and holding without loosing, and various methods of self control. Yeah, one was probably exposed to those through a book or video. Those are methods for perfecting YOUR muscles, YOUR hand/eye coordination, YOUR abilities. Someone explained how that worked for them. Maybe it is/will working/work for you but if not so what, if so, thanks.

                      We are none two alike, that’s why there is no one way to “correctly” shoot a bow, throw a pass, pitch a ball..so practice “YOU”….

                      And have fun doing it, not fighting it……

                      Besides, it’s cool what one can sometimes find buried underneath the scratched up grass. Where I get to stump shoot, stumps don’t exist so it’s done in name only. What we shoot at the arrows passes through so grass scratching is part of the game.:D Artifacts are discovered at times.. Ugly bugs and snakes too…

                        “Stinkin thinkin” ……………..applies to a lot of things………

                        I’m agreeing with Don.

                        If you’re putting your arrows where you want them…………do it………

                        Taking my bow to the backyard or to the archery ranch or to my lease and shooting, stumping or just snooping with bow in hand is a relaxing venture, not a time of complication. A time of not worrying about anchor or stance or form. It’s time to let my brain relax and enjoy.

                        When I pull an arrow from the dot or the bush or the stump or the critter, whatever, that’s what it’s all about, not how the shot started but how it ended…

                              Here’s one as I was locking the gate after a days hunt. Not a productive game day but a very productive day for peace of mind.

                              How could one ever have doubts??

                                Here’s one I got at Wheeler, Tx. Camping out at a 2 day trad shoot.

                                Nice winding down from a golden day…

                                😀 I got lots of sunrise and sunset pics.. A hobby and my favorite times of day.
