Rick Welch married Bigfoot and here is Eric!

Nice shooting. Really nice anchor. Smooth and consistant release.

BTW, how far does your thumb go in your ear?

Hey that looks good to me.  I have no advice for you because I tend to keep my mouth shut when someone has better form than I do!  Nice work.

funny you mension the thumb . i think thats a new thing , because two weeks prior to this filming i had carpel tunnel sergery on my right hand and the hand position is least painfull while drawing.the lefthand is next on fri te 18th im not looking forward to it because the pressure on the palm is most painfull.i hope it heals fast.

How do you get carpal tunnel in both hands?  Are you a jackhammer operator or something!?  Seriously, sorry about that, I know it's very painful.  Hope it heals nicely.  Paul.

Looking Good Eric, one suggestion I got from a good Coach, use one of those warmup\\training stretch bands to work on that follow through, it will help make it become faster and feel more natural.

I kept mine around the house, every now and then I would pick it up and do a Release and followthrough (20-30 times a day), it only took me a week and my follow through was much improved and saw a lot less stray arrows in my practice groups.
