I have to say, when I first saw this I thought, "how can starting your draw with anything less than perfect straight alignment make sense?"

Wow, do I ever feel stupid for questioning this! It is truly amazing how that draw works into back tension AND good alignment. Thank you so much.

 I'm a rookie and I was having a hard time "feeling" my back tension but not with this technique- you can feel the tension in your shoulder blades continuing through the draw. And the whole string rotate into you has helped with my grip and less bow torque on the shot.

Thank you ALL for the kind comments! I'm glad that some of you are finding value in the suggestions.

There are two areas I've found that seem to be logical but really aren't.  One is that we need to have the string out on our finger tips so there is "less finger" to get out of the way of the string.  The second is that we need to have everything (bow hand, arrow, and string hand) lined up with the target at the start of the draw.  Those of you that have tried the "rotational draw technique" are finding that by giving yourself the room to bring the string arm around your spine your alignment and back tension are improved once you reach full draw.  Many "ills" can be reduced if we can get the draw out of our biceps and into our back.

Anyway, if you find the technique works for you GREAT!  If not, just disregard it and press on   :) .
