Yourarm looks to be bentjust a smidge too much. It does look good though. A bent arm, as I'm sure you know, does a few things; you don't whack your arm, it reduces left/right movement and also reduces stress to your shoulder.
*For you guys that shoot straight arm, it's just one of those things where you have to build up the muscle. You don't see guys shooting their long guns with straight arms. It's the same principle.
Sorry I do not agree. there is nothing similar about shooting a rifle and shooting a BOW just as the principals between shooting a hand gun and a rifle are different.a bent arm is poor form and does not allow you to utelize your full draw lwngth potential plus it makes you less accurate
if you are slapping your wrist with the string due to a proper draw length becausethe arm is strait the bow is being held incorrectly thus causing the string to slap the fore arm.
there are no in betweens either you have poor form or you have proper form.
can a person hit what they are aiming for using improper form? sure nevertheless it is poor form.
anyone can have a good form as long as they are willing to take construvtive criticisim and drop their bad habbits and replace them with the correct techniques to achieve the correct posture.
I hate to sound harsh
but sometimes the cold hard truth is hard to take[X(]
