RE: So, How's my form?
ORIGINAL: englum_06 ORIGINAL: TFOX [:@] Dang TFOX, didn't mean to make ya mad, buddy- lol. So I messed around with the "leaning" a bit, and you're right, I feel like I'm leaning forward alot- but I guess if that's how it's supposed to be then I'll keep doing it and make myself get used to it. |
RE: So, How's my form?
wow you are right FOX-- there isn't much scrawnier than that. Looks like my left leg at full draw HAHAHA

RE: So, How's my form?
ORIGINAL: englum_06 The only thing I want to point out, is if it seems I'm leaning back, I really don't think I am- I'm just scrawny, and so my shirt pulls back when I draw giving it the look that I'm leaning. |
RE: So, How's my form?
ORIGINAL: TFOX The fingers extended creates tension which is never a good thing.An open hand with tension creates more torque than a closed hand without tension. The biggest issue I see is that there are a couple different grips in the pics. Frankly, his form isn't bad at all except for those couple things. |

RE: So, How's my form?
Nah...:) You want to get your upper body straight. It will feel like you're leaning forward at first, but you'll get used to it. You want your weight distributed evenly to both feet. Play with your stance, make it comfortable. I like my feet placed just slightly wider than my hips. Standing straight up may alter your anchor point slightly, you may need to fine tune your peep location once you get settled in your form.
If you can, go shoot at an indoor league someplace. Find the good shooters, and have them work with you. You're very close to nailing it down. Keep the tension out of the grip, don't lean back, and keep you back elbow up where it is, and things will fall in place. And don't forget the follow thru, it's got just as much to do with form as anything. Squeeze the trigger, focus on the target, don't take your eyes off of it till the arrow hits, and let the bow do what it wants after the release. Don't lower that bow down till after you hear that arrow hit. And don't look for that arrow in flight!! Worst habit to get into! ORIGINAL: englum_06 Wow, everyone just give up on me? |

Not good , Your grip has been addressed above , you are leaning way back , and your release forearm is pointing toward the ground , it should be in line with your arrow shaft
