One of my regular target partners shoots recurve with all the bells and whistles with the exception of a clicker.
He was formerly a Master Bowman but succumbed to target panic a couple of years ago where he constantly froze using a clicker, unable to draw through or release after the click.
After a couple of months away from the sport he came back and started from scratch until he was back up with the big boys at 100yds looking for Bowman all without a clicker.
I?d been filming another archer earlier in the morning when he asked me if I could video him for a few ends too which I was happy to do - when we reviewed the footage in the comfort of the club bar after the session it was immediately apparent the flaw in his technique was a variation of draw length shot on shot with a few shots drawing almost an inch short of his optimum and impacting half a target boss low.
He knew this was the case but wanted to see it in action - we discussed ways to address it but both came up blank.
Is it possible to achieve a solid consistent recurve draw without a clicker ? If so what methods / exercises / strategies do people recommend to achieve this ?
