    Bryson DeChambeau

    You don't know who he is? Then you're no golf junkie, right? No matter, same thing applies to archery.

    DeChambeau won the John Deere Classic on Sunday, coming from behind to win his first PGA tournament.

    So why should this show up on an archery message board? Good question.

    Frequently on threads dealing with "how to shoot better" (which can encompass anything from form, to practice structure, to equipment, to overcoming target panic), there are typically a number of posters who seem to say, THIS WAY IS THE ONLY WAY!!

    Which brings us to Bryson DeChambeau. Upon winning, he did the required interview with the pretty young lady with the microphone. She asked the required question: how did you do this, given your myriad of previous failures.

    At this point, you need to know (unless you really are a golf junkie, in which case you already did know) that Bryson uses equipment and swings it like no other pro on tour. All his clubs are the same length. He employs an oversize grip on every club. He is mechanical to the extreme. His approach to golf seems to be more scientific than artistic, contrary to almost all his peers.

    Ok, now let's translate Bryson's approach from golf to archery. Many of the posts concerning "how to shoot better" here on TBH reference comments from known professional champions, like, "well, Levi Morgan says.... ".

    And that is where Bryson DeChambeau's approach differs from said TBH posts – his answer to the pretty young female interviewer was simple and direct – he said, there is no one way. Just play the way that works best for you.

    ‘nuff said.

        He played great and certainly proved that there is more than one way to skin a cat. And im sure like Bryson many times when someone comes on here with a simple effective option to things hunting there is criticism and reticule of those options. Not a lot, but there will always be some. I have learned over many years that simplicity is typically best. And that common practice or technique is not always better

            Just like golf, archery is repetition built from muscle memory- as long as everything holds up under pressure (big putt or big buck), doesn't matter what it looks like if you can consistently replicate the motion and deliver the ball/arrow where it needs to be.
