I shoot everyday and sometimes in the heat of battle years of practice gets thrown in the waste basket. Finally figured out a heavy bow and a clicker work best for me in a hunting situation. But sympathize with ya even though opposite probs, guessing playing backyard hero you were King dingaling with the draw u had.
Lol I found myself instead of anchoring on my big tooth my middle finger was on middle of my neck lol the joys of shokting instictive!!
U get excited ans all fundamentals dissapear very quick with a stick bow.
Yeah, weird how having a pin in the sight picture calmed me down, enough to remember my shot sequence. Shooting a bare recurve bow my mind would stay blank and the entire shot process went out the window. Usually rushed everything, had no clue where my anchor was upon release. And dropped my bow arm upon release. Would have had an okay wall of racks, instead of a so so wall.
Same, shot instinctive with a compound the first 10 years I hunted. Could shoot as good as any of my buddies with pins out to 30 at the range. Get me in a stand with a deer in front of me and I’d forget to bend every time. Shot over the back of a few monsters... pins just give me something to focus on and snap me back to my process.
