Jeff: You really missed your coming. You should have been a writer. A grasping documentation!!!<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

One thing that I did catch from your &quot;brief&quot; dissertation was that you used the Winn's with a shorter draw length. Then you said you could lengthen your draw length with the Winn's.

Is it possible that the problem with some of the other releases may have been that they didn't give you a proper/comfortable anchor against your face like a Winn's does. If the hand wanders behind the head, an archer will suffer with lefts and rights.

I won't and can't critique your form in any manner, unless you want to stop by. The one thing that I want to get across is that any anchor point change or lack thereof can drastically affect your accuracy.

Nose on the string (or beside it with glasses), string crossing the corner of the mouth, and the release hand locked firmly into a comfortable area of the head are criteria for good form and better shooting. The &quot;final frontier&quot; for the shot execution is the actual release of the string. Backtension form is preferred but a modified backtension form is better to learn for hunting. IMHO

One other note that I will throw in here that drastically affects shot execution is trigger tension and grasp. Generally, the lighter the trigger, the better you will get the shot off and don't &quot;grip&quot; the release. If you can practice with your other fingers waving somewhat in the breeze, you will not have any chance to torque the string.

Thank you, Jeff (Hemingway) <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
