It's perfect, I need camo like that because your undetectable.....so I have to assume, pefect form but how'd you get the bow as invisible as you are?
Seriously, like Dave said, no picture. ;) |

Your DL is a bit too long. Youneed to lock your bow shoulder down, and cover up that midriff, will ya?!!! [8D]:D

You're DL is a little too long. Notice how you're leaning back? Your stance is kind of awkward. Distribute the weight more evenly. It's difficult to tell in the photo, but make sure your bow hand is nice and relaxed. It may be already.......

RE: Picture of me shooting Rate me
first thing to catch my eye was the possible choking of the grip.
|
RE: Picture of me shooting Rate me
When I bought hte bow they measured me and told me 29 inches and thats what I gota 29 inch bow. They made me stretch my arms out and they measured and then they divided by 2.5 I believe. Also the grip, it really does look like I am squeezing the chit out of it, I never thought i did to bad till I looked at my picture, I put a sling on it so maybe that will help with the grip, keep the comments coming yall...

You need to rotate your hand out until your knuckles are at a 45-degree angle; it looks like you're holding a hammer now straight up and down. Let your fingers go completely limp; some people refer to it as "dead spider legs" -- you'll see people stick their fingers straight out in an effort not to hold on to the bow, but that's just as wrong. The idea is to get the tension out of your hand, and more specifically your forearm.
After you rotate your knuckles so that they're positioned at a 45-degree angle, the throat of the grip should rest lightly against your thumb pad -- just to the left of your lifeline. There shouldn't be but about an inch of the grip actually making contact with your thumb pad, and keep the heel of your hand off the grip as well. Some people LIGHTLY rest their first finger or possibly two on the front of the grip as well. Start there, and then work on standing up straight. I think it's impossible to tell anything about draw length until you place your weight evenly on both feet and stand upright to start with. Work on making that perfect "T" first. |
RE: Picture of me shooting Rate me
Thanks fellas....

RE: Picture of me shooting Rate me
Try this grip or non grip;).
edit to fix pics   |
RE: Picture of me shooting Rate me
I am going home to try that, will take some more pics after I work on it a bit... Thanks

RE: Picture of me shooting Rate me
I actually think it looks pretty damn good, especially for as big a guy as you are (please don't take that the wrong way). If I had to knit pick I would say look at your grip, it's too deep in your hand as was said above. And your release is slipping off your wrist into your hand. Very common though.
I have seen much worse form for sure. Paul |

I concurr I have seen people say that someone was as much as 2 1/2 " long on draw before they got their posture right,after the posture was fixed,the draw was only a 1/2" long. I would work on gettingyour feet under yourshoulders and hips square and then look at draw length. |
RE: Picture of me shooting Rate me
Exactly, Todd... I was fitting a young lady for a bow at the Bass Pro Fall Classic in Springfield this weekend, and another manufacturer's rep walked by and said something about the draw length -- but her release hand was stillfloating inmid-air... It was her first time ever shooting a bow, and she had no idea where to anchor properly. Once I got her to make solid bone-on-bone contact, it all fell into place and her draw length I had already measured her for was almost perfect. It's amazing how much things change once someone gets their form working better.
I just looked at his other thread, and there's already a good amount of improvement visible. |
RE: Picture of me shooting Rate me
Draw length is always the first thing that is blamed when someones form is off.It also gets blamed for arm slap almost everytime and form is rarely mentioned.
We have a bunch of people out there shooting too short and think it's right.That will cause as many left and right arrows as too long. I am not saying that the draw isn't too long becuause afterlooking at the other pics,I think it might be.I will move to there now.[8D] |
RE: Picture of me shooting Rate me
Posture, a little more weight forward. In your position it would be hard to bend at the waist to make a treestand shot. Try shooting sitting down to get the upper body positioned right.
