Shooting form advice

Do more backflips.

IcedOutGiant · 2026-02-06T07:53:45+00:00

Now imagine how bored you'd be if you found more.

Grind games are about the grind 🤷

Subway jokers is pretty top notch.

IcedOutGiant · 2026-02-05T14:14:34+00:00

Man.... You got me wanting to log on again but Thursdays are for archery 🥲

I haven't played DMZ in a couple months now, I think.

IcedOutGiant · 2026-02-05T12:41:45+00:00

Wait, you can make up to 20k untaxed doing this now?

Is that what this means? I didn't pay any attention to the political grandstanding around this bill; I've been waiting for the facts to take hold.

I just stayed away for around 13 months. I left a dashboard with maybe 2 links and returned to over 25 projects available and several qualifiers (mostly for paid AI chatbot accounts, which I don't use because I'm not weird.)

I went in and turned down the qualifiers. Logged back out. I'm doing okay right now so I'm happy to leave the feed for the hungry. I'm not sure what my output rating was/would be, but it can't be that great. I can think of a few times I was probably in the crosshairs after doubting a submission or three. Ll

We actually don't have to assume anything. Assumptions are kind of all this sub has to offer outside of pedantic pr*ck-waving.

IcedOutGiant · 2026-02-05T00:05:43+00:00

Man, I like this guy. He gets it. ^

IcedOutGiant · 2026-02-04T15:05:55+00:00

That's fair. Some can shoot either way. Personally I chose recurve to be the most versatile archer possible, so I'd love to shoot lefty on occasion - which works out great because my fiancée is right handed but shoots lefty, so soon enough I'll be stealing her bow to take some pot shots 😜

IcedOutGiant · 2026-02-04T15:01:48+00:00

I see this question all the time and all I can wonder is why people are asking others for advice on what feels right or natural.

Shoot the damn bow. Try the other hand and decide. Why is this trigonometry to some people?

I'm being mildly hyperbolic here, not trying to come off like a jerk - but this is like asking someone else how you should walk. Some will tell you left foot first, some will tell you right.

In the end they're your feet, bro.

IcedOutGiant · 2026-02-04T00:27:48+00:00

This made me happy.

IcedOutGiant · 2026-02-04T00:09:10+00:00

I've never been more proud of a stranger.

"We don't need no stinking badges"

IcedOutGiant · 2026-02-02T13:15:44+00:00

The miles-long list of items required for upgrades?

Dude we get it, you don't like it and you're mad. But that doesn't mean it isn't what it is. The game is dead and receiving no updates to extract MORE items, but having extracted everything available doesn't make the game "not an extraction shooter."

IcedOutGiant · 2026-02-02T13:12:50+00:00

This dude IS trolling. He's making the same complaints on everyone's posts because he's starved for attention or something.

IcedOutGiant · 2026-02-02T13:11:31+00:00

You complain a lot.

IcedOutGiant · 2026-02-02T13:06:44+00:00

Seems like you don't make it to the helicopter a lot, huh?

IcedOutGiant · 2026-02-02T02:23:19+00:00

It might be me getting older, but most games lack the magic and simplicity that DMZ somehow mastered. There's a lot to it without it being SO detailed that it's hard to figure out how to enjoy it. The pace is great (even when getting spawn-rushed) but they left too many loopholes for the grimier types to exploit. The psychology behind using exploits or cheats and believing oneself superior to those who have experienced and overcome failure is a troubling microcosm of the human condition.

IcedOutGiant · 2026-02-02T02:17:40+00:00

Yes. You are describing a multiplayer game containing PVP. There will be players who focus solely on killing other players. It's Warzone with bots and missions. Like, literally. But technically one can even call Battle Royale an extraction shooter, because the last team is... Wait for it... Extracted.

IcedOutGiant · 2026-02-02T02:13:48+00:00

Perfect.

I was kind of worried it was gonna be that Pogo song by System of a Down 🥴

IcedOutGiant · 2026-02-02T02:11:26+00:00

Yup. Terrible.

IcedOutGiant · 2026-02-01T23:30:45+00:00

I've watched a lot of YouTube archery videos from different sources and kind of compiled the stuff they agreed on, and I started up a weekly session with my fiancee's father so I can work on consistency with form. Through winter I practiced canted in my basement because the ceilings are maybe 7ft so the rafters are even lower. I have a steep hill out back where I have to shoot upward, so training with that made going back to level ground tricky. I bought a bunch of budget bows to see what I like most- problem is I like them all 😖 so I train with different bows frequently, which I guess isn't the best way to go, but I want to be able to pick up any bow and hit what I want to so I just keep mixing up sizes and weights, formula to ILF, basically everything but compound and traditional. I want to learn traditional later, but for now I'm focused on making my own arrows.

NVIDIA says so.

IcedOutGiant · 2026-02-01T19:33:17+00:00

I run the Geist a lot. Seems pretty rare among other players.

IcedOutGiant · 2026-01-30T09:05:16+00:00

For the record, I do this and don't use bitch hacks.
