anchor point

[lonearcher12]

Hello everyone..I have been shooting my longbow and having trouble reaching my anchor point. id like to take it back to my lip or further but it is feeling like i pull the bow to the left when i bring it out that far. any adivice would be great on how i can fix it or make it feel more comfortable. Thanks!!

Without knowing whether you're shooting RH or LH it's kind of hard to tell much, but it may be that you're trying to draw with your arm instead of your back muscles.  If you do that, especially with a heavy bow, your bow arm side will try to help with the pull, which will move a right handed shooter's bow arm to the left.  Try concentrating on pulling your shoulder blades together as you're drawing and see if that does anything for you.

Thanks and sorry Im a right handed shooter. I shoot 55# at 28 inches I have longer arms so Id like to get more draw length than 28 I just need to get the anchor point problem fixed.

You may be overbowed.  How long have you been shooting trad and how long have you been shooting that weight?

I switched over about a year ago from a 70# compound to the 55# longbow. been shooting it since. I killed a doe with it this arhery season and i shoot pretty good but my goal is to get a better anchor point that will give it more power..so i know im getting 55lbs or more.
