How's my form.
 
What do you guys think of my form. I am open to all suggestions. I have a little dirt on my sleeve but that's archery.:D

Excellent, Zak.

Hope you get a big one in your sights next season.

You seem to have pretty good form especially for your age!! The only thing I see is it seems to me you are using a release that is a little long for you. The trigger of the release should rest behind your first nuckle of the index finger. Looks good though!! Good luck!

I think it's past you bedtime young man. A boy needs his beauty sleep.(So that when he gets older he can party harder)[8D];) Tough to tell from the angle but would agree with shortening up the release and get the tip of that finger off the release, hook it.

Ditto on the release comment and your bow arm looks a little more extended than I typically suggest.

Isn't a little dark out to be shooting?

Looks very good:D

The only thing i would add is to get rid of all that tension in the release hand - you are choking that thing.

No need to grip it - let the wrist strap hold the weight and relax the hand.

There is also a little tension in the bow hand, let your fingers lay limp.

relax, and use as little muscle as possible.

Good Shooting:D

Only thing I see is to much hand on the bow. You have the palm of your hand sitting into the grop, rotate your bow arm out a bit to get the grip to sit in the thumb/hand area more than the palm, this will also rotate your bow are elbow out a bit.

Looks VERY good as is however, keep shooting!

You do look very good. A couple things I would add to other comments would be to pay attention to your draw length after loosening up your bow arm which is a little extended. You may have to make a small adjustment to shorten the draw length.

Also, I can't really tell, but is your bow strap a little tight around your bow hand? It should be very loose. But like I said, I can't really tell.

Keep up the good work!
