Take a look at Cougs form...
Alright guys I have been playing with this bow for about 3months now, and the more I play and tinker the more I like it. The last bit of tinkering I did, seemed to have found a sweet spot. I had originally ordered a 28.5" bow. And after weeks of playing, and pulling my hair out I decided to try to tinker with my draw, I had a very reputable target shooter help me a little bit because I couldn't get my bow to tear a good hole, other people could but I couldn't. We worked on my grip for a while with no improvment in the tear, but an improvement in the grip. He got another idea, he stood behind me and after a few shots, he said that I shoudl try to lengthen my draw. I immediately asked why, he pointed out that with the DL being at 28.5", the cams weren't really tracking right, because of the way I was pushing out with my bow arm. Lengthened it out, I'm definately more comfortable. Now I'm getting PERFECT holes. The draw now measures, 28 7/8ths. No matter what the draw is, I always have the string, at the same place on my face. Don't know why but it's comfortable. At this DL, my arm has a decent bend, and my shoulder is "locked" in. Anyway, here it is. Tell me, other than draw, what should I do.
And as far as Bowhunting section relevance, this helps become a better bowhunter :)[8D]  |

Dude that looks perfect. Thats the first time i have ever said that for a "how's my form" thread. Keep it up and good shooting.

RE: Take a look at Cougs form...
Pretty good, maybe just try shooting with the correct hand for once!!:D I kid, I kid

RE: Take a look at Cougs form...
it maybe the camera angle but the only thing i could find is to be kinda nitpicking, but you could drop your elbow just a bit. Realy Looks great man. love the thread.

I agree with Mo....drop the elbow a tad.....and get the finger off the trigger...you shoot that wall and yer mom will get REAL MAD !!!!!!! Other than that..looks near perfect !!! Good luck in the woods.

RE: Take a look at Cougs form...
My finger wasn't on the trigger guys. I've shortened that release up quiet a bit, and the trigger is pretty far forwards.

Form looks great. I'm a big fan of the open handed grip.
Nice bow BTW. |

You guys are terrible. I was waiting for someone to tell him to put his laundry away...
I agree with the 'drop your elbow' comments, but if you're comfortable and consistent, that's what matters. Now just practice, practice and practice some more! |
RE: Take a look at Cougs form...
Looks great, I'd say drop your elbow a little and relax your release hand. Keep up the good work
