I know we have alot of these threads but I wanted to see if there was any input you guys had for me?

My finger is behind the trigger and normally my release hand is almost completely relaxed however I was working off of a 10sec. timer for the picture.




sorry guys, got the picture and the avatar mixed up there[:@], this should help a little.

It's pretty gosh darn difficult to tell much of anything w/ that picture. Us old fogies need something we can see......

Yeah, my bifocals won't even help with this.

I blew it up till it was blurry, but it appears your bow arm is locked pretty tight at the elbow. Makes your whole body look tense.Also looks like your bow hand is into the grip with the palm. That's all I can see without a bigger picture.

I'm not an expert but from what i can see it almost looks like your draw length is too short. Your bow arm looks like the elbow is too straight and your draw arm is at a funny angle. Looks like your tipping your head in to see through your peep. Most of the problems i think are caused by too short of draw length. Unless it is just the angle of the pic playing tricks on me.

Uhmm no i don't think you draw is too short you might want to move your peep up and relax you bow arm. I also think to you have to much hand on the grip.

You're tipping your nose to the string because of the short axle to axle length of the bow. Your bow arm is locked as I mentioned above. Try to relax the elbow a bit. You don't have to bend the arm, just relax.

As mentioned by whitetail, you have too much hand in the grip. You need to turn the hand out t about a 45 degree angle and shoot off the meat of the thumb and just let the fingers just relax. They should almost naturally curl around the front of the riser.

The draw length of the bow appears to be a tad long, maybe 1/2", but your drawing arm appears to have decent alignment with the arrow. Don't know that I would change it unless you just feel like experimenting a bit. I wouldn't go longer, but maybe a bit shorter.

Try this. Get your feet all set and look at your target. Without moving your head at all draw and anchor. Remember, don't move your head. I'll bet the string doesn't touch our nose if you're looking though the peep. If this is so then raise your anchor till the string touches your nose. Take notice of how much you have to lower the peep to see through it. Get my drift? You don't change your body or head position to fit the bow. You adjust the bow to fit you.

I agree with bg on just about everything but draw length,I feel once you relax your armand get your head more relaxed as well,you will find the draw length to be very close.I can't tell about the draw arm but almost looks to me as though it isn't aligned with the arrow horizontally but just can't tell.



On the other hand,there are some great shooters that use the exact same approach with how they hold there head as you are doing so I really don't see it as a huge problem.

try this... draw the bow and then bring it up to you instead of ducking down into the bow.
