3 shot series for today, all from 18 yards.

Shot 1: Normal stance

Shot 2: Bow side leg crossed over draw leg

Shot 3: Draw side leg crossed over bow leg

As an alternative, shoot from a seated position but still mix your feet up!

Shoot safe and post your results.

My normal stance shot is below the bow side leg crossed over my draw leg shot. My draw leg crossed over my bow leg shot is over to the right, but still in there. The third shot was noticeably more difficult for me as I couldn't stop weaving.

As called.

Clockwise from the tee: #1, #2, and #3 at 9 O'Clock.

On #3 with the draw side leg crossed over I had the same sensation I have when kneeling with the draw side knee down and bow side knee up: like my left lats and back are immobilized and I'm using only arm and shoulder to stabilize the bow arm; also the same result, a dumped shot. Beginning to wonder if I push the bow arm out more than I realized?

55# Montana, 29" .400 carbon, 250 gr point, 600ish gr arrow weight, 21% FOC, 4x2x10mm Blazer vanes.
