It isn't so much poking the chest out as it is bending the back and tensing up the chest area. Hope that makes since. Just stand up straight.:action-smiley-099:;) |

Don't get me wrong, there is muscle involved, you just want to use as much "bone to bone" contact as possible in the shoulder socket, you want to utilize a low shoulder position for a more relaxed bow arm. TFOX is much more versed at this type of thing than I am, he is definately someone you want to listen to when it comes to shooting form, your shoulder just sort of stuck out to me. Shane |
i cant ever stand up straight :(

Stand up as straight as you do when not drawing a bow.If your body doesn't allow you to do it then don't worry about it,unless you are just being lazy.:s3: |
you obviously dont know much about me...i am lazy haha...but i will try and lean forward...like mentioned before i THINK i am standing up straight but as pointed out and i JUST notice i have weight on my back foot...

It isn't just your back foot but also your weight is on your heels.Your weight should be distributed evenly over both feet BUT you should have a 60/40 split to the balls of your feet.This should HELP take the bend out of your back. |
BTW....
It ain't that bad! It's a LOT better than it was! |
noted TFOX.....what would happen if i had alot of weight on my left foot...being a right handed shooter....i ask bc my shooting buddy has all his weight on his left foot and he is still pretty darn good...just curious!
