Default RE: Shooting form

I measured my bow and the amo length is between 25 1/2 and 26 inces. I did the wingspan thing and came up with around 25 inches. So I am pretty close to what I should be.

Varmint sniper, I took some video of myself and while my arrow touches in the same spot as yours my hand is nowhere near that far back. My knuckle is right under my ear at the back of my jaw bone. I noticed something odd about your pictures. Your release is not around your wrist, it is accross your palm and the back of your hand. That could cause you to be a few inches off on your anchor. I have noticed that getting a release that fits well and is properly adjusted really helps you shoot better.

I learned some intresting things doing this. One being I can't touch the string to the tip of my nose and shoot. It makes my eyes cross! I guess my nose is too long. The other is that when you change your draw length your nock moves, at least on my bow. Glad I looked at it first.

Oh, about anchoring with my thumb behind my neck, if you let your thumb support the weight it does do strange things. I usually just lay it on my neck. But I tried it with my thumb along the bottom of my jaw and that works just as well, so I will do it that way just to be safe. Thanks for the tip.
