Check my form please.
I had my wife take this pic this evening. I have been very comfortable with my bow but this pic makes me think my DL may be short. What do you think? If it is short I won't change the module until after the season. I am shooting very well as is.

RE: Check my form please.
To be honest, I think your form looks pretty darn good. If you are short, it's a 1/2 inch and it's better to shoot too short than too long.....
and your shooting very well as is. |

Man.....yer gonna force me to do it again!! [&:]

Bow arm shoulder should be low, not up tight. Release arm should be parrellel to the ground. I think your draw length is good.

There is a LITTLE funk going on there but it's subtle.........The draw length may or may not be a little short. Your weight distribution looks to be a little off. You are dropping your body weight almost completely over your back leg as evidenced by your right knee being locked straight and your front knee in a relaxed position. This is causing you to lean back slightly into the draw.
That all may be caused by your bow arm........that exaggerated bend in effect drops your anchor further back and to compensate your body and and head will drift backward to find it. Get the bow arm a touch more extended and I think that will make everything chase forward where it belongs in a better vertical position.I think that slight change will really improve not only the appearance of your form but your ability to hold steady. It all starts with a solid base and proper weight distribution. Think Vertical "T" . Straight up and down head over shoulders over feet. Also with that form you will naturally have a tendancy to drop your bow arm rather than bend at the waist when shooting from an elevated position. Like I said, get the bow arm a little more straight but not locked, (I do like the dropped shoulder position) and everything will move forward into better position. Shooting with your current form I think a change to a longer draw length would actually make things a little worse in your particular case. |

Thank you for the input. I will work on my bow arm and weight distribution. I knew I could count on you guys.:D

Looks good, shift your weight though.
