HEY Mr. GREEN!
I guess we posted almost the same time. I'm glad that looks better as far as making the magic T. Bend at the waist, I will work on it! Thank you! I did have a question about back tension in my last post.

Have a great day, HH

Dillon, I couldn't carry Ron LaClair's quiver so I ain't bout to give him any shootin tips!    

I've said most guys will develop their style and they will, given the right raw material, become great shooters over time with that unique style. You have to take some from each style and find what works for you. It may be you can shoot accurately moving your head, but if not, certainly try "not" moving it. Over time, you will adjust each specific body mechanic of your shot and find what works best for you. It's my hope I can point you in the path of "the majority" which will get most folks, but not necessarily all, shooting well. Think of your head as the top of that "t"...many folks find it easier to be consistent by not moving the head.

It's okay to have the rearward movement of the elbow, in fact it's encouraged. But it should be straight back, not up or down. Imagine pulling with your elbow instead of your hand...your hand is simply a hook. When you release, if you have full pull back tension, your elbow will go back...but straight back. You're definately getting there, it looks like you may be holding back on your follow through. When we say back tension, we aren't necessarily talking about trying to keep the muscles "tense" but continuing to pull with the elbow throughout the shot and especially after the shot in follow through.

LOL Joe I like the "I couldn't carry Ron LaClair's quiver" ahahahaha NICE

Okay, that makes sense now to me about back tension,  thanks man I appreciate it.

Yeah, it can help to hook on to the string with a deep hook, and relax the hand as you draw. Like the hand part is just a string between the wrist and hooked fingers. That pulls it all straight as you draw with back muscles.

The less cupping, rigidity, flex, (all torguers) you introduce, the straighter the line.

That makes alot of sense GroundHunter, thanks for the info!

Have a great day, HH

HH,

Have you tried putting your head where is set at release before you draw?

[HumbleHunter]

No I haven't, come to think about it. I will try that next time I shoot, tomorrow hopefully.

Thanks Mr. Green, HH

Bend at the waist, cant the bow more, stop grabbing the bow, point with the wrist, tuck the bottom 2 fingers, use an armguard, Have fun.
  Sorry - straight and to the point right?

[Dirty Bill]

Hold the bow like it's a baby bird..I pretty much hold it with my thumb and index finger,the other fingers just kind of stabilize it. Every once in a while I even hit the target.

You got some good tips here on form that was already pretty good. Nice steady bow arm IMO as well.
