Technique de préhension de grip

Une réflexion et une technique qui tend à montrer que la façon de prendre le grip est plus importante que le grip lui même.

Ca se passe sur Tradtalk

This is just a little off topic maybe, but it still may be helpful.
It’s funny, but for many years I was hyper grip design conscious. However, early last year, I figured out that [how I gripped the bow] was much more important than what the grip shape was.
I stumbled on to a gripping technique while surfing archery sites. Once I adapted my grip, grip shape became almost a non-factor. (see below)
Hope it helps you as much as it helped me.

You point your thumb at the target, tuck the pinky and ring finger into the palm, letting the first and second fingers lay lightly against the grip. (see SUSF site for more pics and detailed info) http://archery.eusu.ed.ac.uk/resourc…hing_guide.htm
I had been giving David a hard time about his grip, but in hindsight, I think it was me more than it was the grip. I even think he sort of indicated that to me, but I wasn’t wise enough to catch it at the time. Still had some ego to get through…lol! Now I can pick up any bow/any grip and shoot it very comfortably and without torqueing it. Grip shape has become almost a non-issue.

L’ancrage haut est il un problème ?

Un post interessant sur PiratesOfArchery sur les problèmes d’alignement qui peuvent être liés à un ancrage trop haut.

Une technique pour s’assurer d’un bon alignement:

What I have learned from them about how to get into good alignment and how to recognise proper back tension in the rhomboids is to start with your bow at your side and reach for your knee. Then raise your bow horizontal to the ground and when it is paralell rotate your wrist. This will leave your bowside shoulder down, and your elbow pointing straight back. When you draw the bow as you are coming to anchor you should be able to feel the muscles along your spine squeeze together. Your drawing arm should be paralell but not necessarily in a straight line with your bowarm and that will make your arrow fall inline automatically. If you have good line and good back tension, on the shot your bowarm will move forward (even if it was straight remember it is no longer being compressed by the drawweight) and your string arm’s elbow will move back and to the side. Behind your head almost. The way you can practice feeling that squeeze in your rhomboids is to puff your chest out and pull your shoulders back. Almost like you were shrugging only to the rear instead of up.
