Default RE: Beginner seeking advice on release technique

One thing that has helped me.Focus on pulling with the back muscles.Think of it as squezzing the back muscles together.It takes pressure off your shoulders and transfers the weight to the larger,stronger back muscles.When you get to anchor squezze your back tighter.Your bow arm will push forward and the string arm will come back.As you do this relax your stirng hand and the string will slip from your fingers.Try and keep the tension in your back.This will allow your bow and string hands to relax.Think of your drawing arm hand as a hook,relax from the elbow forward as much as possible.It takes some practice but you will be more stable at anchor.Of course some folks don't hold at anchor long,but that's a whole other can of worms.
