[Keith]

what does in mean? how do you do it? I heard of it but don't know..

String walking is the act of shooting all three fingers under the arrow.

While keeping the same anchor point the arrow will impact higher at closer distances.
To compensate for this, you move your fingers lower on the string while keeping the same anchor point.
This in turn will cant the arrow lower and therefore it will strike closer to the bulls eye.

move the hand down the string until you finally have the arrow hitting the mark.

start at 10 yards and once you have that point tie a piece of dental floss around the string where your index finger needs to be.

Next, move back to 15 yards and see if the arrow is still on.

If it is then move to 20 and work your index finger higher until you are back on target then mark the string there.

Continue to do this until your index finger is firmly against the arrow and this is your final yardage.

Here is an example















Notice how the arrows come down as the anchor comes up?

Hope this helps and let me add that if a bow is not tillered for three fingers under you will know it because it will make one heck of a racket when you release
