Title: Hows it looking?
Post by: Matthew Bolton on September 10, 2012, 06:38:00 PM
After seeing another thread about a slow motion app for iphones/ipads I decided to take a bit of film for you gurus to see how my form is. I apologize for the angle, its the only one I had. In regards to the awful shot in the first video I didn't really focus on a spot which is why it's so far off.

Looks like you are not quite getting full extension ...meaning your elbow is not coming around finishing off the draw creating the 'J' shape?

Here's a new one. I think I'm slightly over bowed on my zipper so I pulled out my old ben pearson that's 5lb lighter. I also worked on driving my elbow back.

Hard to tell really from that angle...but looks like not much has changed.

Need to find a way to get the camera up off the ground level with your drawing hand....and also film from the rear.

Also looks like your bow arm is moving left at release indicating your elbow is still not making the 'J'.
