Old bows are good bows. Your form looks good to me.

Cody,

It looks like you are "leaning in" with your head in your avatar. The photo may be fooling me.

Since you are facing the camera I cannot tell if the new bow is causing the same thing...but if so, you may want to think about working to a more upright chin as you get used to the new bow.

Thanks Ray, I been told way long ago that that form in the Avatar could not work LOL. Well it was at Kzoo when some one told me this so I bet that person it did work then I put three arrows rihgt in the bull's eye. My form is way off from other's but it works for me. I will work on the uprigth chin and give it ago to see how it will pay off.

Dont think so Ray....

His form looks great and "leaning in" is an ASSET for barebow shooting without sights...

Actually, he is "Leaning" down which can reduce the "sight picture" between the arrow and the target by 50% making aiming much more accurate.

However,if one subscribes to a "Instinctive" school rather than one of "Split-Vision" then this will make no sense whatsoever.
