I wanted to shot a few shots this evening. I usually shoot in Vans. I didn't think to change. I was wearing anew pair of Danskins Colgs. They throw my weight back toward my heels. Made my shot very uncomfortable a awkward.

I opened my stance up a bit to try to control my balance better. That kinda got my whole shot at of line.

Rocking and rolling. Lost a little control of the shot.....

Didn't matter to the Bull/Hex5. They covered the shot. Shooting at bottom dot. Not a X but better than I thought. Bull/Hex 5 is the most forgiving bow I've shot.

Don't shoot in rocking shoes

Yep right or wrong I try to wear the same pair of shoes when I shoot. The ones I use happen to be for indoor soccer, so they are "flat" and neutral balance. Recently I've started pointing my toes outward, say 10 and 2 position.

You can see the bow reaction. Just unweight and fell quite. You can also hear the sharp report. I still don't hear it when I shooting. Sorry what did you say LOL ???

I really like that riser. I've noticed the heavy risers are very forgiving. That riser has great balance.

UDS, that is with the bare bow module on it. I was using a finger sling.

Edit:-

You can see the staged unwrap of the upper limb against the sky. Kinda interesting. The limbs are shorts. I am getting to the sweet spot

How about a nice, flat pair of moccasins - now that's traditional!

While good shoes may not 'help' uncomfortable shoes can certainly distract. I have an old pair of heavy leather hiking/backpacking shoes that I wear for 3D. Well broken in and super ankle support. Great on uneven terrain, even if they're a bit heavy for summer wear.

90% of the time I shoot wearing the same Lacrosse Coil Scent snake boots that I hunt in and I wear'em religiously at 3D shoots. Our courses have a tendency to have some swamp or water at least somewhere on them.....and Mr. NoShoulders loves these wet woods in Eastern NC....

I like 6"heels-but not on me.

And these are Olympic style target shooters. I've shot at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista. It has the smoothest, flattest, grass I have ever seen.
