MN/Kyle; Looking for form help.
 
Kyle asked me to post these pictures for him. I'll let him ask any questions he needs to, etc...

First off, Thanks a Ton, Dan.

Second; The 10 sec timer really kicked my butt. I'm going to try and get more ASAP.

Any input is appreciated, Thanks.

I personally. Would shorten the draw length 1/4" to just get a feel for it. I think you are VERY close to great form. Your arm being locked bothers me a little. You want it straight but not locked. The nock seems to be at a good spot on your face, but I would try to get your bow arm right and then see where the nock comes to on your face. Your draw length, looks VERY close. Just fix that bow arm and see where it brings things.



Edit: Can't really tell from the pics but it looks like you are gripping the bow and getting too much of your palm on the grip.

You are leaning back slightly but not bad... You could use to drop your bow shoulder.... Your form looks pretty clean....

Yourstraight arm and dl don't bother me.

Thats one thing I know I'm not doing, but your right it does look like it. Thats one thing I had trouble with getting a good grip with the timer. Felt real rushed. The last pic shows my grip the best.

I'm going to try and put a slight bend in my bow arm, and hopefully it will bring my shoulder down to the correct place.

My two cents worth, and Kyle and I have discussed it on MSN... I'll throw it out and hopefully TFOX or RJ will chime in...

I think the draw length is basically fine. if anything, I would lengthen it 1/4".

I also believe that if he were to bend his arm more, this would drop his shoulder down easier and would bring his release hand slightly forward on his face more.

I don't know that he's necessarily leaning back, he may be pushing his hips forward. I had the same problem awhile back. It was more of an alignment issue than a draw length issue.

I think you covered it pretty well.Instead of bending the bow arm,try just relaxing it,that will put the right amount of bend in it imo.

TFOX, I was waiting on your reply! That seems like a good plan, relaxing the bow arm. I do get more string slap than I'd like, and at first I thought it was because I had too long of draw. I know now, it's becuase I'm not relaxed enough with the bow arm. Thanks guys, anything else, let me have it.

Go pats[:-]

The arm slap might be from the grip.You need to rotate the forearm over as previously mentioned to get less palm in the grip,that along with relaxing and getting the front shoulder down should fix arm slap.
