How-to properly hold a long bow (?)
DanaM:
I bought a arm gaurd and never use it, but I do shoot with a bent elbow. My take on the stance is it shouldn't matter if your in a hunting situation
do you get to pick your stance, ya might have to shoot from any position from one foot in the air to laying on yer belly. Hold on there bucky while I get this foot and my elbow lined up ::) ???

I used to have a similar problem until I switched from dacron to FF strings.
BigWapiti:
hmm, thanks Gordon, I'm seeing that using my tillering string to fling arrows might be my issue too. I really need to get a string (or learn to make a string) soon. it didn't even cross my mind until now that I'm still using my tillering string. duh.
And JackCrafty, thanks for the large picture of the "bracer" - I can make one of those!! Never knew it was called a bracer. I love your tag line too... officer....
Gordon:
I think you'll see a big improvement if you switch to a FF string 8). And BTW, I use FF with vine maple bows all the time with no problem.
