Best advice I can give anyone regarding shooting form
Never give up on your shooting and try every combination of form technique to find what works for you. Never ever believe you can't shoot well. For myself the components that have built a solid shot cycle is the use of an elevated rest, rotating my bow arm and using a firm bow arm, no bending elbows, a rotation draw, and and anchor further back just below my cheek bone. It's not for everyone but it does work for me. The point I want to make is there are so many combinations of form and equipment choices that it is silly to believe one form fits all, or one bow is better than another. The difficulty is to be able to try different things, and give them time before moving on to something else. Don't rush it and certainly don't give up.

Good advice!
We learn in spurts, from plateau to plateau. We go along at a certain level of shooting, some days better, some days worse, and then some new inspiration hits us and we jump to a new plateau. The inspiration could be something that comes out of our own mind, something we read, or something someone teaches us either in person or in a video. Always be open to it. Today could be the day!

Great advice!
Archery is not only a physical game; it's also mental as well. To say one style or method is the only way is rigid and narrow-minded. Everyone's bone and muscle structure is unique to them; no reason why their shooting style should not be as well if it works.
