Default RE: what do i need to do

Not to bad.There were a couple issues I saw but you have a good squeeze and you are not punching the release.GOOD.The 1st thing I see is the release is too long.You are reaching for the trigger and you should be able to wrap your finger over the trigger and squeeze it off.


See how his finger is over the release.I wouldn't try to copy what he is doing with his wrist,just what he is doing with his finger.You might be able to shorten yours,I have modified them before but a different release might be in order.



Also,look at the draw length,you are slightly long but really not too bad.Your bow should have adjustment down so you might want to adjust it down about a 1/2" or more.(might need the shop to do that)


Another thing I think I could see was a little too much palm in the grip.You need to try to turn your hand and forearm over before gripping the bow.You are trying too hard for the open hand,your fingers are tense,they should be limp.


The arrow in the video looked like it was pointed uphill BUT it could be the angle of the video.It should be close tosquare with the string.


The last thing is you might want to take those shiny things out of your ears before you go hunting.


You looked very comfortable in front of that camera.That is hard to do so you might have a future in it.Keep up the good work.
