anyone I promis you I can take it

RE: how is my form???
 

We need one that's not so much a close up.....Need to see your full posture, but right off your bow hand needs to be relaxed. Let your fingers lie naturally along the grip.

First up you DONT have an arrow loaded;)

RE: how is my form???
 

Doesn't look too bad actually.......

RE: how is my form???
 

well first off your shooting backwards. [8D]

looks good all except relaxing the bow hand, relaxing the release hand, and possibly shortening it a little bit, depending on your anchor.

Apart from it looks like you have too much palm in the grip, the sling looks to be tight you want the sling loose real loose and shorten the release up a tad.

Yeah your a lefty thats what's wrong. LOL Just kidding, Never draw your bow without an arrow loaded. It could save you from having to rplace limbs on your bow.

Well,there is more going on than what most will pick up on but it really isn't all that bad.


The stance is the first thing I see.The width is good but from the pic,it seems you have your front footforward(toward the camera) too much.This would be considered a closed stance.You really need to open up some to where the feet are perpendicular to the target to just open a little.(whichever feels better and has better results)


You aslo appear to be leaning back.Your shoulders should be directly over your feet.Yours seem to be back behind SLIGHTLY.When fixing this,it will feel like you are leaning forward so that is normal.Practice in front of a mirror to SEE what the proper stance looks and feels like.


Bow arm,is too bent imo.Try straightening it out a little,but not to the point you lock it.This might be one of those things to experiment with to see where you like it best.I think this can be done without a draw length change.

Angles are hard to repeat so when you can eliminate them from your form,that usually equalls better accuracy.




Grip is the next item up for bid.[8D]Go ahead and rotate the wrist and forearm at a bit of an angle,this will give you clearance that you might lose from straightning the arm.It will also eliminate the torque associated with too much palm in the grip.It will also put pressure straight back into the hand instead of on the side(torque)which caneliminate some left right issues.


Your release is too long,too hard to get the knuckle over the release and apply pressure without punching or reaching.


Last but not least,,I agree,the bow sling is too tight.That will cause torque.

1st dont pull bow back with out arrow. Bad things will happen if it goes off and you will not be the 1st person to say,"that never happened before".

lookin good....make sure the bow is in tune and practice, practice, practice

good luck this season

Draw length looks to be about 1/2 inch too short.

Oh no.....another form thread!! You're gonna get yelled at !! :)

Everybody pretty much has got ya covered bud. But yea, loosen up on that wrist strap. It's only purpose is to keep the bow from falling out of your hand.

Your bow grip is one of the hardest things to master. What I do is allow my wrist to bend as far back as it can go, locking it in place, keep my fingers relaxed, letting them just sit on the riser/grip whereever they fall. I let the grip just kinda slide itself into the "lifeline" area of my palm when drawing back. This allows me a nice relaxed grip, and also allows me to get a little "push" on the grip while aiming to assist in firing my release. Everyone is different, repeatability and comfort are what you are looking to accomplish.
