Perfect shooting form
 

I've been trying to work on my shooting form quite a bit. I was wondering if you guys (and gals) might know of a good website or something that has pictures to help. I was also wondering how work on your form...like video camera or how. Thanks for the info everyone.

If i was you i would look for a 3D or target archery magazine or book.Ask a PRO shooter.I'm not ,but have recently read an article in Bowhunter febuary issue about shooting form .you may find this at Bowhunter .com the web page for this magizine.I work on my form while shooting indoor 5 spot leagues.
There is a lot more to shooting form than some may think.
Your draw lengh if to long can cause bad form.So if that is not correct you are not helping the begining of the process.
Your local pro shop should also be able to help.

www.archerytalk.com web site has always got people posting pictures and people critiquing their form.They have really knowledgable people helping them out.


"PERFECT" form isn't necessary and really hard to achieve with a hunting setup and hunting clothes from a deerstand.However,knowing and understanding "perfect" form is important,even from a hunting standpoint.


Things like elbow position and feet position are really hard to achieve in a stand but must be understood to know when you are making a good shot and when form is to blame for a bad shot.Release elbow should be straight back and in a straight line with the bow arm and this can be quite difficult at times when in a deerstand but needs to be attempted.Feet need to be at shoulder width but this too is hard to achieve in a deerstand.Draw length will be shortend a bit when shooting a hunting rig verses a tournament rig do to the fact of the clothing is much more bulky.Understanding these things is crucial to getting the perfect form for your application.

I'd concentrate more on consistancy! Some of the best shooters in the world have what others would call terrible form. Shoot with your elbow in your ear if you want , as long as you do it the same way every time!

Bowfantic,you are right.There are some great shooters with horrible form but their are more top notch shooters with good form.

It is much easier to be consistant with good form than it is to be consistant with bad form.


If you want to see great form,just get a picture of Jeff Hopkins and study it.
