- "Blind" shooting is sometimes very useful for controlling ones style.
- When practising I sometimes shoot some arrows this way, but only on a
- target which is no more than 10 metres away. It is quite useful,
- because it helps me to remember the actual movements of the muscles
- (or rather how they should move) without having to worry about aiming.
- It always amazed me, how tight the arrows grouped (Ok, I did aim before
- I started drawing the bow, closed my eyes and started drawing...).
-
- Good shooting
