This has been a topic lately and a rather heated one I might add.

Well,I am going to give a little demonstration as to why we ALL need to learn what proper form is and how it relates to hunting.


We first must learn that balance and alignment is the center point of good form and proper draw length is a must in a target or hunting scenario.


In the video I just made,I am wearing my parka and I use the exact same form I have shown on here many times.I have no problems with clearance and some of that attributes to using a STS on my bow and partly because I have a good grip and forearm position.


We need our feet under our shoulders when we practice without leaning to build muscle memory so our shoulders know what proper alignment is when we can't make that perfect shot in a hunting situation.


You will see me turn in some very uncomfortablepositions and make what would be very good shots on a deer.They are not perfect but will get the job done more than adequately.

I demonstrate shots made with my feet turned,sitting on the groundand sitting in a chair.All shots are at 30 yards except the ones in the red target,those were 20.I also face completely away from the target to simulate a deer coming up from behind.


The first shot I made was low right so to keep it as real as possible,I kept that shot and I hide nothing.I am cold(no warm up)from that point on,I am aiming at the arrow that was low right.


You will see that my arrows impact in a left to right manner and that is a direct result of feet not being square but like I said,they are more than adequate to get the job done.As a matter of fact,all shots except the first and last were within a 2" horizontal line.


I demonstrate at the end how to maintain proper alignment while moving around for angled shots and uphill and downhill shots.


I also show the trees that make it very clear the wind is blowing like crazy,another reason for good solid form.

I have lost my sound for some reason,I did narate it as I was going but I know more about archery than I do electronics and computers.[:'(]
