RE: rookie needs shooting form technique
Feet should be pointing 90 degrees to the target, not facing it. As should your body. Turn your head about 80 degrees and pick up the target. Stare at the center of the target, draw, and release. Well, that's the simplified version. Oh, your stance. Feet shoulder width apart, if you find that you are hitting your bow arm w/ the string, try taking your back foot and moving it away from your body a few inches, creating an open stance.
