You guys have any tips for steadying while shooting with a bow?? I'm a fairly new bow hunter and can make the shot I want about 5 times out of 10. However, sometimes I have a hard time keeping the bow steady. Is there anything I can do besides practice more? I've heard trying to place the bow in the palm of your hand can help?

Thanks guys

Shoot more to build strength, or lower the draw weight a bit.

1. make sure to use same anchor point, EVERY time.
2. relax holding hand, maybe leave hand slightly open, keep wrist strap fairly tight and let fall forward.
3. Try not completely locking your holding arm.
4. Breathe normally.
5. YES, practice alot.
6. NO, don't shoot alot of arrows at one session. I always tried to shoot about 5 a day, and make 5 "perfect killing" shots.

I use a back pressure release . I had a bad tendency to kinda lean into my shot . It really makes you get into better shooting habits . Just my opinion and it helped me
