- True, though, with practice ynd proper tuning of both the bow and
- release, you can control your shot much better and get a much cleaner
- release. The first time I used mY release, I almost let go of my bow.
- As I was wearing a sling, this actualy improved my shot, because
- before, i had been torquing the bow with my bow hand by gripping it
- too hard. Anyway, enjoy your shooting.
