RE: Got my longbow
I also keep my bow arm up and exagerated after the shot as Chad has mentioned. I also get a grip on the bow (longbow). Maybe not a death grip, but a decent grip. More of a Howard Hill style. If I don't grip the bow decently, it throughs other things off. Remember that you have no stabilizer. But, I should mention, that as I draw, I keep a looser grip to feel the pivot point of the bow. I grip according to the pivot point. On my Adcock, it was ordered as a medium grip, but maybe because of my hand shape, it turns out to be a low grip. As such, I grip with more pressure with my bottom two fingers. I also will not exagerate the release hand and try to touch my shoulder. To tell you the truth, I shoot best when I have no idea where the release hand goes after the shot. THe more I think about the release the worse it gets basiacally.
