Your release is way too long.

Can't tell much about your feet but it looks like you are facing the target instead of being perpendicular to it.Get perpendicular first and then if you like an open stance,drop the front foot back about 6" or so and open it toward the target,JUST A LITTLE.

I was about to say... Call up Sasquatch and tell him you've got his release! :D

Everything looks good, you might want to shorten that draw length though, you might group better. You have problems w/ the string hitting your arm?

Draw length looks perfect to me.

Nope never had my compound hit my arm. My recurve is a different story though.:DMy groups are pretty tight I am really happy with my shooting right now. So other than my realease everything looks ok?

ONLY thing I noticed was the tension in his release hand....that would probably be resolved with the proper release length.

I learned something in here, today. I am slightly (very slightly) open when I set up. I see my target better, that way (rather than being perfectly perpendicular).

TFOX says it's OK! Yayy.:)

It is taught in certain forms of archery to be open,supposedly better balance for long distances.Others are strict to perpendicular.


I have gotten my but kicked on 3-d courses by a few that like the open stance I described[:'(],who am I argue with them.;)A few I know were going to coaches.

I prefer to drop my front foot back a couple inches,only because I have a bad habit of being too closed if I don't make this a conscious effort on my part.:eek:

I do think I should have 6"'s or less instead of or so.;)

Never mind about the sasquatch comment... just learned today from all the Bass Pro guys that a couple guys found him dead.

I had no idea.
