muggs Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Re: ? about torqueing a bow shot I'll try my best It's basically gripping the bow hard with your bow hand (left hand is you shoot right-handed). This causes torque when you draw back. If you're doing it, the string will be pull off center and effect you shot. Practice shooting with your bow hand open, letting the bow rest in the pocket between your thumb and forefinger. Just make sure you fingers are down-out of the way of your broadheads.

AaronS Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Re: ? about torqueing a bow shot Torquing a shot refers to not holding the bow perfectly level or twisting the bow handle, which can cause erratic arrow flight. It is solved by practicing on good shooting form and following through on your shot (holding the bow steady until the arrow hits the target). Some sights have levels to help but it's a lot of work to focus on a level, then the target and pin, and getting it all to work together.

Guest antlers21 Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Re: ? about torqueing a bow shot When I shoot I always hold the bow very loose with my thumb and pointer finger lightly touching.(like I am holding a cracker) Dont grip the bow.

Tony Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Re: ? about torqueing a bow shot pre loaded bow torque is caused by either too tense a muscles in your bow arm or a poor grip.. they cause unexplained left shots if your right handed.. your bow arm must be straight but relaxed... the grip must be the same each time.. i would prefer you to shoot low wrist.. which is the easiest to duplicate each time.. your grip should never cross your life line on your bow hand.. between your thumb base and your lifeline theres a spot that should contact the riser . this is a torque free postion .. heres a pic of my grip and wrist and bow arm postion.. [image][/image] [image][/image] what is most important is to get that grip the exact same each time.. i used to put a mark on my grip hand that lined up with my rest.. then that way all i had to do was line them up to make sure my grip was the same each time.. after a while it just became natural..

maddhunter Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Re: ? about torqueing a bow shot I agree with Tony. I use the same grip, with my fingers tucked into my hand. With my fingers tucked in my hand, it alloys me to grip the bow in the same exact way each time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

too_pointer Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Re: ? about torqueing a bow shot This makes me wonder how many shooters in here use a bow sling around their bow handles. I have never used one, but I see many who do just for the torqueing reason. too_pointer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddhunter Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 Re: ? about torqueing a bow shot I use a sling for carrying reasons, but my Switchback doesn't jump at all. I can shoot it open handed and it will fall forward ever so easily. Yes I love my Switchback!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stsi36 Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Re: ? about torqueing a bow shot i used to torque my bow and then i got one of those slings and i dont do it anymore. these are a great investment. they are only about 10 bucks at gander mountain and i strongly suggest them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Re: ? about torqueing a bow shot i have to use one all the time , or the bow ends up on the ground... oh yea its happened afew time too.. what they mainly are for is a way to tell your brian that the bows not going anywhere if you shoot a complete relaxed bow hand.. some people allow the bow to rock forward and others have the bow slightly jump forward .. its both the same.. either shot when it happens is the result of a torque free shot and a surprise release...
