Default Proper bow stance/technique dvd??

I am new to bowhunting/archery, and was wondering if you guys know of any good dvds/web sites for the fundamentals of archery, ie stance, technique, etc. I don't feel that my local archery pro shop is a good source of info. for the fundamentals. After setting up my compound bow for me (which cost $50), they said ok now hit the indoor range. I had to ask them to measure my draw length, they didn't explain how my release should fit me (I have to have my draw length adjusted again because I found that out for myself), and they gave me no shooting advice. When I asked them about the proper stance, etc, they told me to shoot how I like... I'm pretty sure there is more to it than that! Thanks for the help guys.

You are right, there is a lot more to it than that!

There are a lot of videos out there. The best ones for you will depend on how you plan to use your bow.

PSE has some good basic videos on form & arrow flight.

Robin Hood Videos http://www.robinhoodvideos.com has videos with a lot of good information if you can get past the BS, excuse me "Marketing"

Lancaster Archery Supply also has some.

Do an online search and you will come up with enough to get you started. However, I would strongly recommend working with a coach. While you can learn a lot from videos and books, you can do it much faster with a good coach.

Good luck,
Allen
