Wondering why your shooting to high?
 
The Bowman has your answers to this and any other questions you have about archery shooting.

Question:
 
Which is better, carbon arrows or aluminum?
 
Bowmans Answer:
 
They both have their advantages. Carbon arrows are faster and lighter, they have a flatter trajectory, they don't bend but can break and they offer less kinetic energy. Aluminum arrows are heavier and have more kinetic energy and are not as flat shooting as a carbon arrow and they can bend.

Question:
 
Should I use fingers or a release?
 
Answer:
 
Today with the growing trend of all the bows being built smaller (axle to axle) and lighter, using fingers with the smaller bows tends to pinch your fingers. Also, you're dealing with human error and human fingers vs. a mechanical release. In my opinion, once you're accustomed to using the release your accuracy will improve greatly.
