Thank you for your advice. I have gone through some of these questions before on another web and have checked time and again several of the posibilities suggested by having my wife observe my shooting.
I draw with my arm straight in line with the arrow. I hit anchor but release instinctively as i'm going through. my hand and arm continuing back because of the release. I don't struggle with the weight contrary to the popular belief of many people who have never seen or met me.
I find 80 pound bows to shoot comfortly and lesser bows to feel like youth bows. If they weren't comfortable I would shoot less poundage. I hunt all over the world and my personal accuracy is important to me. Besides, tuning arrows for heavy poundage is a bitch and not worth it if I didn't shoot heavier bows better. Danny, won't a 80# bow kill a moose too?
Back to the subject. I haven't tried concentrating on emphasizing my middle finger (I mean while I draw)Maybe this will help.
As far as bow handle, all of my bows have had the same handle. I shoot an american leathers glove that I had custom made for me with leather finger pads instead of nylon and it works much better than before but I do think the seams may be part of the problem. I don't lock my arm. Never use a arm guard unless hunting.
I will try some more Ideas and then I will just go back to three under if necessary.
Danny, I'm not upset or anything, but just trying to prove a point. If you don't mind, what poundage do you shoot best? How old are you? What do you do for a living? What size coat/chest?
I am 40 years old, weigh 300lbs with only a beer gut. I have a 54" chest and am 6'3".(this is why they call me big Jim) Most people who condem me for shooting higher poundage are average in stature and shoot about 55#'s. If I am twice their size shouldn't I be able to shoot a few more pounds. And what is the problem if I can. It certainly won't tear the animals up more.
I talk too much, BigggggJim
