Its been a bit since I blogged. a quick update.
Selling fingerslings and a few bino straps. that's good. I am shooting my best in some time, I firmly believe that shooting recurve has helped my shot, a clean finger release at 34 pounds must really burn the muscle memory in for the feel, my shots are going off clean and firm backtension, yet very relaxed ie no helping.
also I traded the Elite E35 for a custom shop PSE 3D Dominator, which is an exact model match and close draw weight, only and this has me grinning a bit, its a custom shop color.white with silver wheels and pockets. my red 3D Dominator feels like a hug from an old friend.
ok, today's topic.....what a coach can and cant do.
a coach can
instruct suggest encourage discourage
a coach cant
make you do anything
the coach student must be based on trust and respect. if I suggest that your anchor should be a bit more solid, and you say no.,you have always shot that way like your day/uncle/buddy...who is very good.
I have to first say I cannot make you change. I would say, first you pay me to coach you. There must be a reason...you want to get better. I am not even saying that the change in anchor would even be an improvement. as a coach I am trained to see "classic form flaws" based on the NTS system developed by KiSik Lee. you may have a muscle imbalance you may have a flexibility issue .
I am getting off topic. as your coach I ask that you try what i suggest. results will determine if it is a good change, not me. it shouldn't be you.
i respect you as a student and more so as a fellow archer, i WANT to see you do well. i use a coach from time to time for form checks i also have archers i trust check my alignment. as a student you/me don't know what we don't know. we cant see what we cant see. together with mutual trust and respect will be able to make smart results based decisions to make you the best you can be.
