45 Degree Cant

An English longbow can be held vertically or canted. However the more vertical you hold an English longbow the greater the tendency to shoot left is, so hold your bow down at 45 degrees. Even then you'll have to turn your head slightly left and bring your string elbow down to get the arrow visually straight to the target, but that's OK Gumper. You can do it. Give it a try.
