A common piece of archery advice is “don’t punch your release.” Yet, some of the best professional archers have great success by ignoring that advice.⁠ ⁠ Winding up and slamming a trigger looks bad, but it’s not the reason punching causes inaccuracy. Punching accompanied with bow arm movement due to anticipating the shot going off is what causes wild misses. Few people have the mental fortitude to punch a release all day and avoid things like developing a flinch, getting locked off target, or smashing the trigger before the pin settles where you want it to go. Those are all steps toward the dreaded target panic. On the other hand, punching can be accurate, and it’s sometimes necessary while bowhunting or shooting in strong winds. But for most people, it shouldn’t be part of your daily archery practice.⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in profile for the full story 🔗⁠ ⁠ #archery #bowhunting #bowseason #archeryseason #archeryhunting #archerypractice #outdoors #outdoorlife⁠ 📷: scotteinsmann⁠ Story by: s...
