yea the release is sitting way to far forward in your hand. and maybe its just me but it looks like your pulling your elbow to high like your torquing your shoulder or something.
Heck maybe my form is wrong. lol
but if your shoot ok then i wouldn't worry bout it.

I'm in between sets of weightlifting... don't have much time. Someone else will be along later I'm sure to expound...

Grip looks better

Bow shoulder does not look bottomed out

You seem to be making a "Z" with your body aligment... upper torso is leaning back away from the lower torso (from what we can barely see), then your head comes back to align itself over the legs... Possibly from too long a draw. Next point could confirm that...

Look at your release forearm; it's still not in line with your arrow shaft... again, quite possibly due to too long a dl... I didn't look at what type release you were using, or if it was set too long or if your loop was on the lengthy side; those could be other possible culprits.

Work on standing up straight, bottoming your front shoulder out, ensuring the palm is rotated out of the way on the grip, and that you have your release arm more in line with your arrow shaft.


Need to go, time's up.

Try strapping that release a little bit tighter to your wrist. Not tight like a wristwatch, but a bit tighter to get the release head under your finger closer. You see that big gap between your index finger and the trigger? That's why your right arm isn't level to your arrow. Shortening up your string loop a bit will take up any remaining slack to get your arm level. And are you sure that isn't a leotard? If it snapsunder your crotch I'm outta here!

The draw length of the bow itself is pretty close. At least no more than 1/2" long. The problem, as mentioned, is your body position. You're leaning back at the waist---because you're stretched out too far. Already mentioned, but it's the release. Way too long as shown by the drawing elbow being below the hand at full draw. Oh, and part of the leaning problem might just be that you have more weight on the rear foot. Try balancing your weight better between the feet.

Some better pictures would show a shot from behind and slightly aboveyou to show forearm alignment with the arrow.

Your draw may be long, but only by 1/4 of an inch - if that. I don't think the leaning is associated with the draw length so much as you're just not aligning your body correctly. Concentrate on squaring yourself off before you draw; feet, hips, shoulders - all should be in alignment with one another.

Your grip looks better in the second picture. The first may be misleading, but it looks like you've got more of your palm into the grip.

Bottom your bow shoulder out. Its difficult to get used to, but once you do you'll fatigue less quickly.

Tighten up your release or buy one you can adjust down. I'd be willing to bet you punch your trigger more than once during any given practice session because you have to reach furhter forward than necessary.

Don't wear UA or any other tight fitting clothing (for the love of God, no spandex please) unless you want to get ragged on. :D

Without being able to see the feet,it is hard to tell for sure but is looks like your head and feet are aligned properly but your hips are pushed too far forward.They should be centered under your shoulders.


I personally wear my wrist release like you BUT I have it shortened MUCH shorter so I can wrap my finger over it. Take a look at my avatar,that is how I have it in it.
