What is string walking?
A. String walking is the process of drawing the bowstring with the fingers not against the arrow nock. The further the fingers are below the nock, the lower the arrow will shoot. This fact provides for a very primitive sighting method with a traditional bow. If, for example, the arrow point aligns with the point of aim at 40 yards when the index finger is right under the nock, then it the same alignment will give you the same hit at 20 yards with the index finger about an inch below the nock. String walking is not highly thought of in the UK, and is forbidden in most tournaments.
