Definately looks way better.

The first thing you need to do is either shorten the release if possible or you may have to take it apart,cut the rod and rebend it.If you can't do that,put that on your list of next purchases.There are alot of shorter designed releases on the market now.



Leaning back does not mean your draw length is too long.It means you are leaning back,that's it.It may be a habit you picked up from shooting too long at 1 point(like you were) or you may be just trying to get your body under the bow to hold it up easier.Use the camera and a full length mirror to fix the leaning.At first it will feel like you are leaning forward but it is a normal feeling.


The locking the bow arm out is a problem.Relax the bow arm and try to stand up straight without poking your chest out and bending the back.(you are actually leaning in 2 directions)


I DO happen to think you might be a little too long as well but shortening the release will help.Shorten the release and take a 1/2" off the bow if possible.This will do wonders for your shooting.

Thats what I meant kwaldeier.

Dont get overwhelmed with all of it. ESPECIALLY before deer season (if you plan on hunting). Limit your range of shots to what you are most confident in.

You have already improved a bunch so keep it up:barmy:

Don't think anyone said that, T. I know I didn't. But it's A sign that the DL "could" be too long.

If he relaxes that bow arm (and I think he should, also), it's gonna compound the DL issue (IMO).

I agree,you are pretty close now and no doubt you can whack a deer at this point.

I agree with the locking the arm out at full draw, from the video it looked like you had a pretty high shoulder position which can tire your shoulder muscles out quicker, by relaxing your arm and sort of letting the bow push against your shoulder socket you should feel more relaxed. It does look alot better than your first pics. Keep at it!

There were several references to leaning back as a sign of being too long,not by just you.


But your first reply made it look as though the draw length was the reason for the leaning.

I realize you came back and further explained but the thought was already implanted.


I still say your dl is a tad long. You look to be leaning back.

sr77 that would explain why my shoulder has been hurting....
