WRONG ATTITUDE,Go into it with the attitude of giving it a fare chance.


Might take a day or two but I am fairly sure you will feel the difference.You should also see some of the lefts and rights go away.Especially once the release is fixed and the draw is shortened.


Try to get the string to go across the corner of your mouth and across the end of your nose.Can't tell from the video if I am seeing a peep or a kisser,YOU MIGHT NEED THE PEEP ADJUSTED when the changes are made.

It felt too short because you are not used to it.Compare you to the picture I posted,He is a pro and a coach,his is right on.



You haven't given it enough time but do whatever you want.

That is irrelavant.


There are a couple thoughts on a bent arm or not,I am looking at your anchor on your face.


Your hand is off your face,NO SOLID ANCHOR.Even if/when you shorten your release,it will still not be SOLID on your face.You need atleast 3 good points of reference and you have NONE.

Most will use the jaw bone for the release hand,the tip of their nose on the string and the corner of their mouth.This should also allow for some tension for bone to bone contact and will allow you to use proper back tension to fire the release.


Like I said earlier,it might mean a changewith the peep but that shouldn't be that big of a deal.

ok so i shortened the dl and ur sayin when i shoot to put the string on the tip of my nose.....another question that i noticed today when the serving gets loose by the cam does that call for a new string or just for the string to be taken off and be reserved?

Chances are it is a cheaper quality string and that is part of the reason the serving is coming loose but I would say that just getting it reserved would be sufficient.


When you can,get a set of quality aftermarket strings,such as the ones Gibblet makes.I personally wouldn't spend the money for Winners Choice,especially on a hunting bow.
