Here I just show you one important point - the correct string alignment and aiming. "Level Up" by "AJ7" is licensed under a Creative Commons Licence. bit.ly/2sGMAPq
Hi, just in addition: I have found a good Video from Ashe Morgan about the same subject: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_ShP27UO5KE.html
Another thing you can try is having a different colour of string contrasting with the riser so you can see it's "shadow" better, in this case a white string against a black riser would be much better to see.
That is partly true. Different colors have different absorption of light in different conditions. If shooting outside a dark string (even on a dark riser or dark limbs) can produce a better (smaller) string shadow than a bright string. If is said that green and orange strings produce the best string shadows no matter what light condition. I shoot a red string right now on Black riser/limbs and have a very noticeable string shadow. Will try a black one next.
The sight shadow is indeed important, but placing it on a part of the bow that changes (i.e. the sight) is not advisable. When you adjust the sight (left/right), you also change the reference point for the string shadow. The purpose of the string shadow is to keep the angle of the bow the same in space. This should be independent of how or where the sight points. Therefore, you should place the string shadow on a part of the Riser. E.g. in the middle of the top and bottom tiller bolt or as an alternative on the inside of the bow window. So you can be sure, that your bow is always aligned with the same angle in space and so you will prevent arrows landing left or right of there you aim.
@@archery1000 So most of members of your club are doing it wrong. 😉 Just think of it: The position of the string shadow is a hint how your bow is angled towards the target. You want to keep that angle always the same (at a right angle to the target). The sight is just an offset of your arrow. The position of the sight in recurve archery compensates for not targeting with the arrow point (like blank archers do) and having the hook under your jaw and not at eye level. The arrow point, the sight and the eye and anchor form an invisible rectengular that makes sure that your face anatomy (eye, jaw) matches the offset between arrow and sight. The distance between eye and anchor determines vertical sight position, while the position of the anchor under your jaw (more inwards or more outwards) determines the horizontal sight position. But the angle of the bow in space should always be the same. And that is controlled with the string shadow.
@@stevehunt4660 For me is the discussion for beginners important. Nothing is so worse than doing and learning it in a wrong way for years. And then there is the point where you ask yourself: Why do I shoot so bad or why have i learned it in a wrong way? And maybe it is inspiring? If you read books about archery you get the feeling that one author writes again parts of the book which were already written in other books. If you look on the discussion of the color of the string than this topic seems to be an important point. Nevertheless our club is again the german Bundesliga winner 2022/2023, but I am not part of the team! I am toooo bad for this great team! But in this team we have got olympic medal winners. I am just a member of the team which shoots in the lowest league.
On my channel I appreciate different opinions. But I can promise you that till today I was never getting money for this video. I think it is a great tool for everybody who knows the problem!
