The proper hand position before the draw is critical becauseit will prevent you from inducing torque into your bow arm during the shot sequence while trying to get into a proper grip. Once youadjust weight and learn how to set this before the draw, and then learn to hold the tension needed to maintain form in your back,your front arm can be amazingly relaxed and it will slow your sight picture movement waaaaay down. I actually take the time to visualize this relaxed state of the bow arm before every shot as part of my shot sequence, I can't imagine trying to adjust it at full draw while trying to maintain that shot tension in my back, next to impossible IMHO.

I really can't get it right. Aussie-guy gave me some grip tips ,but my problem is stillleveling the bow. Unless I twist my wrist around ,the tip of the bow tilts to the left. (I'm a lefty) When twisting the bow to level it my arm and shoulder tenses up even though my grip is loose. I know I'm not pulling too much wt.
I know this isn't my thread and I'm not trying to take it over , but I don't want to start a dup.
I am WAY open 4 suggestoins.
