You really don't seem to want the advice you asked for but here it goes anyway.


There is alot going on in the first pic but the rest look better but still long on draw.


You need to invest in a new release imo.That release is very hard to relax with and will always be hard to anchor properly with imo.


Here is my form and although not perfect(if there is such a thing),it is very close to what most coaches look for.


See the similarities in my form and bigj.Except for the obvious.

I would agree with everyone here that your DL is too long.................it is not unmanly to shorten your DL so why are you fighting everyone's advise...........you will shoot better if you can improve your form by shortening your DL, seems strange to me that you would ask for advise ,but get mad when people give it to you.

here's my form critique as you like:

i cant use a wrist still release due to climbing trees when 8 and falling out and dislocating my wrist....so when i wear a wrist style release it pops my hand out of socket...ouch

lung bust....your draw must be too long also...because the string ancors about the same spot on your face as mine...and my arm is bent about the same...just not in a downward position mine is straight and out.....bending down = more strein on muscles and that = less steady and then less accurate

lol.....you guys are funny

Your right that I am about 1/4"-1/2" long in that pic.................I will shorten up after season..........I don't agree that my bow arm position is less accurate than yours however..........but thanks for the advise.

mus stang,

I don't think you realize that there are very good competition shooters and even staff shooters (past and present) that have taken the time to let you know what you are doing wrong and all you have done is dismiss them...THAT'S the funny part.

You obviously think you areright and everyone here YOU ASKED to look at your form is wrong...what's the point?

One good thing has come from this though...It should be pretty clear to others who they should and should not listen to when asking for advice on shooting form.
