Draw looks to be about 1/2" too long plus what do you have against the bow your choking it with your bow hand;):D

Thanks for the feedback Ausie , i don't actually squeeze the grip ( although it may look that way ) . My fingers are slack on the grip , but will refine it a bit more ;).

Ausie,look at his hand again,his fingers are relaxed.

You might have too much palm into the grip but you form looks pretty good,but I agree that the draw is too long,atleast a 1/2" maybe more.


I did notice something you need to fix.The wrist strap is too tight.That will cause torque.The sling should just hang there and should only be used to keep you from dropping the bow.


I also don't like the bend in the wrist of the release hand.

I feel your wrist should look more like this.

looks fairly good , I agree with aussie , your grip needs work , your bow shoulder is slightly high , dial in your draw length , it looks slightly long . I do like that your release forearm seems to be inline with your arrow , your bow arm is very straight some shoot well that way , try the jacket you will hunt with out , if you get string slap use a gaurd

Exactly my response to his PM prior to reading this thread. Good call Fox.

Thanks


I see another problem.When you draw,you are not drawing to your anchor.You are leaning your head into the string,that is a no-no.

You shouldn't have to lean into the string,you should pull the string to your face and keep your head up.

In my video you can see me leaving my head still.You can also see me readjusting a full draw and that is also a no-no but I feel that because my shoulder blades are double jointed,I need to do this to assure me that I have proper bone to bone contact.Atleast I think that is why I do it.[&:]

Again, I told him that in the PM, he'll comfirm it and I thought maybe cause his draw was 1/2" long or, in the PM I wondered if it were because of his glasses...I don't wear them. ?
