That’s right folks, following the unbelievable response we’ve had to these tutorials, I’ve licensed a BRAND NEW SECOND SERIES of tutorials to a mystery publication (may not be a mystery to some of you!). This means that in addition to the FREE TUTORIALS I’ll be dropping here on Tumblr and around the web each week, there’ll ALSO be a DIFFERENT, 2ND tutorial every week for you, should you wish to subscribe. Full details coming on FRIDAY! Here’s a little peek at a section of one of the 2nd series’ tutorials, which looks at how to THINK when you draw RUNNING FIGURES… And if you want ALL MY OTHER TUTORIALS so far for FREE, just go HERE and HERE! Lorenzo!

Odd question. But can you post a closeup on your personal preference on how to hold a knocked arrow when you draw?
As you can see in a lot of my pictures, I prefer the Mediterranean Draw, even though I shoot a Mongolian Horsebow as well as the English Longbow. The reason for this is simply that I was taught the Mediterranean Draw when I first picked up archery and I just stuck with it. It is what works best for me!
I hope this was helpful :)
