Jimmy was a huge influence on my shooting form and techniques. It's not for everyone for sure, but SW'ing is A WAY, not THE WAY, to shoot a trad bow. For me, it's my way. :D

I've watched his videos and even attempted some of his techniques. Gapping, fixed crawl etc. it works for some and it's a deadly technique but I'm to stuck in my instinctiv shooting to switch.

Me too. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I admire those sho can shoot instinctively. My buddy, Jeremy, shoots that way. I've tried, but I'm horrible at it.

:lol: :lol: I feel that same way about string walking, tried it a few times, that was all it took for me! I am quite sure that it is because I didn't try enough. It strains my edgy-cation, But I admire and take A backseat to those of you who can do it.
