Default RE: Review my form part 2.

I disagree with dropping the elbow,alot swear by it but I am a true believer if it isn't comfortable down,then leave it up.Plus,it is harder to use the back muscles if the arm is down too low.It looks more like you have a low anchor and might look into raising it a bit for a little more solid feel(that should give the appearance of lowering the back elbow in line with the arrow).That will have to be a personall thing though.


Your feet should be shoulder width and you might need to practice a little closer than that for deer stand shooting.(platform width)

You look a bit wide but not bad.Your hips are pushed forward just a slight bit ,try pulling them back a little.It will feel like you are leaning forward at first but that is the right feeling,that is actually centering your weight.See your front hip is out in front of your front shoulder,it should all be in a stright vertical line,feet,hips,shoulders.


You release does look long to me.I have a short & sweet that I have shortened the rope to where there is almost no rope left.This is so I can get my finger over it and apply pressure without reaching.

The second shot is how I shoot awristrelease.

You also look like you are bending your back,NOT LEANING but almost like you are starting a back bend.You need to strighten up imo.


You MIGHT still be a little long but you are pretty close now.Maybe a 1/2"

I personally don't like an arm that bent but that is another one of those that is a personal thing.
