Default How's my form?

How's my form?

I took Greg/MO's advice and bought the Tru-Fire Bulldog Buckle Release. I think it helped a lot!

When I changed my anchor point, I can't see out of my peep sight. Should I readjust my peep sight?

Still looks a tad long to me in the draw length. Your peep will need to be adjusted.

Um...is this a trick question?


(LOL of course you need to move it,otherwise it's just a neat little doodad taking up space on your bowstring )

And to be honest your form looks pretty darn good........it's difficult to fit form properly around those short ATA bows if you want to use the string/nose as a reference. Technically you'remaybe a little long and anchored a little back but not much and you have everything in nice alignment and your using that draw length pretty well. Short bows are a challenge for "target" form. You usually have to give something up for proper draw length and that's a good upright head position because the more forward you go with the draw length, the further the string gets away from your face.
Shoulders look good, and don't wrap that grip hand index finger tightly around the front of the grip, keep it loose or just brushing.

Thanks for saving me some typing.[8D]


Now go shoot and see how it feels,well,once the peep is readjusted.
