		<description><![CDATA[Tips on the correct way to shoot a bow and arrow.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Question:</strong><br />
I use a wrist sling and understand that you are supposed to allow the bow to fall forward after release using no finger contact to prevent torque. How can you do this and still execute a good follow-through by keeping your pin on the target? Also, is it necessary to roll your bow arm elbow out? I use an arm guard and am much stronger if I don&#8217;t roll it out.<br />
<strong><br />
Answer:</strong><br />
You really don&#8217;t need to keep your hand open. In fact, forcing your hand to stay open only creates tension. Instead, allow your fingers to hang naturally. When you shoot, your bow will jump forward into your fingers. You may not be able to keep your pin glued right to the target through the entire follow-through, but just the thought of trying to do it will keep your bow arm from dropping &#8211; one of archery&#8217;s deadly sins. </p>
<p>You will probably achieve better accuracy in the long run by rolling your elbow out and shooting with a fairly straight wrist. This reduces the amount of hand you place on the grip which should reduce the tendency to torque the bow. Eventually, you&#8217;ll build up more strength in your wrist and the new position will feel natural. But if you really can&#8217;t get the knack of it, continue shooting the way you are. Just be very careful not to change your grip position once you start to draw the bow.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Question:</strong><br />
How can I determine my best anchor point?</p>
<p><strong>Answer:</strong><br />
Much of determining an anchor point is personal preference, but there are some good suggested starting points. For years the standard starting point for the finger shooter has been the index finger in corner of the mouth. A higher anchor, such as the middle finger in the corner of the mouth, may be a better anchor for the instinctive shooter. The release shooter should try to get the last (largest) knuckle of the index finger back around the ear lobe. You may also consider placing the thumb of your release hand behind your neck for a solid reference point. This will stretch out the draw length, increasing arrow speed slightly. These three anchor points will allow you to use your back muscles properly and to point your elbow straight behind you for best accuracy.</p>
