I have read articals and some of them talk abot your bow arm should be bent, just how bent should it be? I do not " stiff arm" when I shoot but its not realy bent ether.

what works for you is whats right.not pulling not slapping your arm. if you try to change to copy someone elses form you might do more harm then good . good luck!

Navy, thanks, that is how I have been doing it for sevral years. I thought maybe I was doing it wrong after I read that artical. I do not mean to brag but I am deadly acurate, I just didn' t know if thare was a better way. I have the same bow for 11 years now, it' s a Bear White Tail Legend, I' m wondering if I should buy a new one.

I' ve seen pictures of guys that have their arm so bent they look like they' re resting their elbows on their hip bones.[] I' ve seen pics of other guys that have their arm locked out and their elbow is bent THE OTHER WAY! [][]

If you shoot low wrist, like most folks recommend these days, rotate your elbow so the inside bend is perpendicular to the ground and the bow hand is setting at about a 45 degree angle from the bow grip, then your arm will naturally take the correct amount of bend FOR YOU. Then it' s up to you to buy a bow with a brace height that matches your natural shooting form.

I do not believe in creating an artificial bend in the bow arm (like most of the guys shooting ultra low brace bows must do). For one reason... It' s practically impossible to create exactly the same bend on each and every shot.

It is my opinion that if your anchor points are set-up and designed to position your arm/body with a bent/relaxed pose then you should come back to that position if you are anchored properly...according to your anchor points. This, of course is subject to the amount you practice.
