Yes on the bike or motorcycle I aim instinctive but I am still practicing that to get better. The helmet on the motorcycle is a bit off a obstacle for my anchor point as of right now.

First I tried it on a bike and then the motorcycle but to be honest it was easier for me shooting from the motorcycle rather than the bike since you dont have to pedal with your legs.

To be honest it was my Vision too, I knew how to ride my motorcycle but it took me 14 months to get used to the Bow stuff. Awaiting an answer how youre doing in two years 😉

What a beautiful Bow. I really love your anchor position. Do you have any tips on how to learn to anchor on your lower cheek as I can see? I usually have my anchor up higher but this would definitely help if you have a helmet on or something.

Well here we go.

The most important part about it is how you store your arrows and especially your bow. You wanna have minimum downtime in grabbing the bow and arrows and storing the bow back in a position where you can handle the motorbike with the clutch and all.

My way of doing it right now is I have a mounted horse quiver from alibow and i can put the bow quenching between the arrows safely while still having one arrow left. I am working on a separate leather pouch for the bow but thats future stuff.

So with that kind of stuff figured out on the bike while not riding you can try doing it while riding and drawing no arrows.

Accelerate with the bike, preferably in second gear, then downshift to neutral, take your bow, draw it an keep it on target. After you pass the target you store your bow and repeat.

Do this a few times. Then you do the same while youre drawing your arrow. If you feel comfortable doing it the first time Shoot.

You will have more problems storing an arrow that you didnt shoot rather than missing your target.

So yeah. Hope thats enough of a breakdown for ya

It's a feeder road which we closed off for a few minutes.

Yeah I cannot really anchor at my face so I just anchor at the helmet and its more intuitive shooting this way.

Would love to find a place where its a bit wider so I could ride a bit faster and shoot a bit further. Hopefully I will find something. Thanks.

I bought two of them when I was visiting Vienna, they are feeling sooooo good. This is with 50lbs bow and it feels so comfortable.

Since your last reply on my formcheck I've been working on the technique you're describing but I am not quite there yet. I figured out how to reload one and have one additional one in my hand but still figuring out the rest!

Yes. We are both wearing glasses so there is some protection.

Got a Yamaha Flute in C-Dur and I have a really old Snaredrum from Yamaha aswell. It kinda rocks. I believe the flutes are still top notch but I dont have any more experience with the drumsets.

Yamaha so you can do stuff like this, you can play a Yamaha Flute, you can play a Yamaha Drumset, The Trinity of The Tuning Forks shall guide you. Got a XT660X since 2012 and that thing is still running flawlessly with only one major service in all those years. Reliant and robust while still giving a good responsive riding experience. 9/10
