I'm not sure where to go with this. Pay attention to your drawing arm. You hand is much higher than the elbow. When everything is right the forearm should be in a straight line right through the arrow, or approximately so. If anything the elbow could be higher than the hand. I think the bow's draw length is just a little too long. Maybe 1/2". We're looking for the arrow nock to be vertically down from the eye. It looks close where it is. Is the bow a UL-31?
Can't tell just where the trigger is on the release, but there seams to be a lot of release head in front of the trigger finger. You might consider shortening up the release about an inch. Maybe more. I think this is where most of the problem is.
I can tell you don't look completely comfortable where you're at. Your upper bodylooks tense.
You might also try lowering your anchor some. This will let that drawing hand come down a bit and let you relax. This means you need to slide the peep up the string. How much is a guess, but I'd think a half inch to start with.
Without seeing you draw and anchor I can't say for sure what's going on, but when you get thins right you should be able to stand and address the target. Get your feet set, look at your target. Then you should be able to draw and anchor without having to move your head whatsoever.
For all this I'd suggest doing one thing at a time and then trying it to see how it feels. It will feel strange, but give it some time. Start with the release first, big time.
There are other things, too, but I like to get one thing at a time. This being overextended is the major one I see.
Thanks for taking the time to help me! I've been trying to pull my arm back straight like you said, but I'm having a little trouble. I think I can get it "right" with a little practice.
What about my release? Do you think I should get a new "shorter"release? I heard someone recommend "TRU Ball" to me. If you think I should get a different release, could you please recommend one to me?
Thanks for all of your help!
P.S. I'm shooting a Parker Ultra Lite 31.
