Rolling the String

Figure 33. Rolling the String

A—Rolled to Left.

The beginner is conscious of the pressure of the string andfears that it will slip away from his fingers. In order to feelmore secure he invariably curls his drawing fingers aroundthe string. This rolls the string to the left and the more hegrips the string and the arrow nock the more the arrow isactually pried away from the bow. See Fig. 32. This positionof the drawing hand is all wrong. In the event that the arrowcan be made to stay on the arrow rest, the release or loose willbe so slow and unsteady that the shot will be ruined. The

reader will do well to study this point and get it permanentlyfixed in his mind.
