Looks like you're shooting fingers, is that right? Hope you're not trying to shoot a prong rest or dropaway. You need a flipper rest instead, like the Cavalier Free Flyte. I like the Free Flite Micro

I'm not so sure the draw length is too short for you. Looks to me like you're leaning your head back, away from your anchor. Maybe trying to see through a peep set too high? Lean your head slightly forward instead. Then, if you're shooting fingers, pick a tooth in your upper jaw to anchor over, one that will put the arrow's nock directly under your eye. Then adjust the height of your peep to match it.

To adjust your peep, close your eyes and draw to anchor, then open your eyes. If you're not looking directly through the center of the peep, move it. You will have to move your pins to correspond to the new peep location.

And it also looks like you're canting the bow to your left. Loosening your grip would probably fix that. Not to mention you've got the 'aiming at a target on the floor' syndrome, using your arms to aim the bow. Your arms and shoulders are not in alignment.

Check those screws on your bottom cam. If the cam is rattling, then they are probably loose.


Well I am shooting a whisker biscuit of that has any significance to you. But yea about pointing down, the reason I was doing that because my mom was screwing with camera and I had to hold it for a long time and I was getting shaky.
