Title: Working on form video-advice appreciated
Post by: cedar swampman on February 26, 2009, 06:26:00 PM
Been working on all the elements- back tension, solid anchor, follow through etc. Just wondered if you guys would offer some advise and help. Thanks Paul    (http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee131/pdj317/th_100_3698.jpg) (http://s231.photobucket.com/albums/ee131/pdj317/?action=view¤t=100_3698.flv)

OK...I see a forward creep...which is causing you to  muscle the bow a bit...and probably the cause of your bow arm dropping to the left.

I'm going back for a 2nd look.....

As far as keeping your bow arm up the fifth arrow looked real good, kinda like ole Byron.

wish I could of seen ur group, or was it just for form...if you could hold and settle into ur shot one more second , I think you would be shooting lights out, just my hunch. What kind longbow ya got there? Nice..practice practice best of luck! :)

The bow is a Northern Mist Classic. I am working on developing a system of settling in and then continue my rearward pull until I hit my brow with the string and away she goes! As long as I am riveted on the "spot" I group pretty tight and have destroyed 7 nocks with this new bow already. Thanks guys for your input

I also see the creep. Personally, it would destroy the build up of back tension for me. Unless I keep the increase of back tension constant, I'm in trouble. Its a building process that does not end at the release, but after it.
