How To Shoot : Page 135


LoosingThis is the last thing the archer does: the results will

depend on how well he has done all these things we havediscussed.

If one should ask me what I do when I loose an arrow, Iwould have to confess that I do not exactly know. I am re-minded of a conversation I once had with a very fine pistolshot. I asked him just what he did when he pulled the trigger.He thought for a moment then answered,

"Well, Perry, I think I just wish it off."

One famous archer said that he just quit holding the string.Other have gone into great detail to explain the mental, psy-chological, and muscular phases of this operation which leftme with no clear picture of just what they did. I watchedDr. Hickman's slow movies, set up to 4000 frames per second,where I got a somewhat better idea of what happens, and fromthe pictures definite conclusions can be made.
