Locking Shoulder in
I read that when holding the bow and drawing when reaching full draw you should lock the shoulder of the hand that is holding the bow. Is this true? I am currently trying it and it seems to steady the arm thus helping my accuracy. School is still out though. I am fairly new at archery and am always tinkering with things to try and get better. Is this good? I think this is going to be a lifelong adventure.

RE: Locking Shoulder in
Too be honest the only time I have trouble is when my bow arm shoulder is up. Other than that I have never noticed. This is the first year that I have not changed something major on my form. Looking forward to kickin' some butt.

RE: Locking Shoulder in
I'm pretty sure your bow shoulder is supposed to be down and relaxed. This also helps the forearm from getting whacked.
But correct me if i'm wrong..
