bow arm

[cypressitter]

having trouble continuing to push thru shot cycle. bow arm wants to collapse at release. any suggestions, exercise's, or anything that may help. Blank bailing is easy but when I shoot a target problems arise.

If your arm is straight, bone on bone, it can't collapse.  In the system I teach, the bow arm is a straight (elbow NOT locked) beam that simply braces the bow out from the shoulder.  This is static.  Do not PUSH towards the target, just a beam.

If you are having trouble with this with a target, you haven't "gotten" the "beam" concept yet and should avoid the "target."

Yes, I've read about this and have looked for coaching, but in SE Louisiana coaching is hard to find. Tried keeping my shoulder low like the books say but not getting it.
