I can only shoot downward

Buddy brought me to an indoor shooting range. The targets were eye level. I had the hardest time bringing my bow up that high to shoot. It just felt awkward as heck. All my life I have been shooting downward. Either out of an elevated stand. Or into a short target like the Block on flat ground.

The line from your arm and through your shoulders should never change. Just remember to bend at the waist when shooting from elevated positions.

WOW, this is my first year with a bow and I had no idea of this. Thanks for sharing. I have a rapid slope in my back yard that I shoot from to simulate some of the drop, but I didn't know this bit of technique. I will try this tomorrow. Thanks for sharing.
