looks ok to me, might trim off half an inch just to see how it feels, you might get to bend your bow arm a little more.....


Besides that you look skinny..............

Well, You look a whole lot better that before...here compare.

Before



After


You could still stand a little straigher but it's much better. Draw lenth looks pretty good.

Dont let them hack on ya man..Us lefty's just shoot better!!!

I'm not sure where to go with this. Pay attention to your drawing arm. You hand is much higher than the elbow. When everything is right the forearm should be in a straight line right through the arrow, or approximately so. If anything the elbow could be higher than the hand. I think the bow's draw length is just a little too long. Maybe 1/2". We're looking for the arrow nock to be vertically down from the eye. It looks close where it is. Is the bow a UL-31?

Can't tell just where the trigger is on the release, but there seams to be a lot of release head in front of the trigger finger. You might consider shortening up the release about an inch. Maybe more. I think this is where most of the problem is.

I can tell you don't look completely comfortable where you're at. Your upper bodylooks tense.

You might also try lowering your anchor some. This will let that drawing hand come down a bit and let you relax. This means you need to slide the peep up the string. How much is a guess, but I'd think a half inch to start with.

Without seeing you draw and anchor I can't say for sure what's going on, but when you get thins right you should be able to stand and address the target. Get your feet set, look at your target. Then you should be able to draw and anchor without having to move your head whatsoever.

For all this I'd suggest doing one thing at a time and then trying it to see how it feels. It will feel strange, but give it some time. Start with the release first, big time.

There are other things, too, but I like to get one thing at a time. This being overextended is the major one I see.

Looks good to me!!

Your posture looks a lot better to me, and draw length looks good too!

Thanks for taking the time to help me! I've been trying to pull my arm back straight like you said, but I'm having a little trouble. I think I can get it "right" with a little practice.





What about my release? Do you think I should get a new "shorter"release? I heard someone recommend "TRU Ball" to me. If you think I should get a different release, could you please recommend one to me?

Thanks for all of your help!

P.S. I'm shooting a Parker Ultra Lite 31.

Thanks for your help!


BTW, I'm not that skinny...

I don't get it. Who is this a picture of? In any case this is pretty ddarn close to what to look for. Notice the drawing arm about parallel with the arrow. Take notice that the string does NOT come back to the corner of the mouth, but touches the lips more up front. The release looks just about how I would shoot one. The only thing I see a little out of kilter is the left shoulder. It might be a little high and tense, but not bad. Wrist sling might be atad too tight. Pretty near to perfection over all.

When you get to this point and are consistent with it you're to a point of maybe changing the draw length in 1/8" increments to find where you aim the most solid with a minimum of conscious effort.

yes we do!
