Hi Archery Coach,

Long time - no postings.

I am a recreational recurve shooter and I do not understand the info
I recently re-read in R MCKinney's book on where the string blur
might be best located.

Several positions are shown. My question is - why would you not line
the string up on the sight pin/circle?

The picture on this website of local shooters shows the sight and
string lined up with the shooter's eye. In McKinney's book, he also
has a picture with the string, sight and eye lined up.

But the book shows string blur lines:
just to the right of the sight pin
along the inside of the bow edge
along the middle of the bow and
along the outside edge of the bow.

I am thinking maybe in aiming position zero, you can line up on the
sight pin but as your fine tune your aim and move the sight pin, you
want to keep the blur in a constant place?

But where shoud a good starting position for the string blur be?

Thank you,
