Default RE: punching release

Hey Lee
Most people think you should draw the bow with your arms.Not sure what u do so i'll just go thru it. Make sure you point your bow at your target with your bow arm slightly bent and your bow hand slightly facing down. Also ive noticed alot of people dont know, turn your left hand facing up (if your right handed) anything right of your life line is "no man land" never let anything right of your life line touch the bow grip, this causes inconsistencies in the amount of pressure put on the grip and will cause inconsistent grouping. Now with all that said, back to your problem. When you draw your bow, concentrate on squeezing your back muscles together to draw it smoothly, dont jerk it back , if you have to jerk it or aim up or down to get it drawn your pulling to many pounds and or your draw length is to long. Now concentrate on keeping those back muscles squeezed and stand tall, dont lean your head forward or backward, and keep your right elbow pulling straight back, dont "chicken wing it".Ok now we have you squeezing your back , left arm relaxed, right elbow going straight back, now put pressure on your release and concentrate on your target and just keep squeezing. Your shot should go off almost without realizing it. Practice that and you will be shooting Darts in no time
