Mistakes on my form.
« on: January 27, 2008, 03:36:00 PM »
hey, tell me if i do something really bad. Problems are short draw in target range and lot of misses when shooting longer then 15meters.

I think you identified what I saw: not quite coming all the way back to full draw.  Release looks good.  I couldn't see your bow hand, so next time you might want to have your photographer back up a little more.  Maybe you miss when shooting longer than 15 meters because you don't get a chance to practice as much at the longer ranges?

How heavy is your bow? Can you draw back to FULL draw comfortably? You seem to draw back easily but the short draw could be because of being over bowed.

You are not getting to full draw. You are also trying to see where your arrow hit,you bow arm starts to drop just before you release.

It also appears that you don't really have an anchor point.

I suggest you buy a clickety click clicker,anduse it to get your form perfect,before your problem gets a lot worse.

You are short drawing.  If you watch both videos in slow motion notice where the string is in relation to your nose.  In the first shot the string doesn't quite reach your nose and in the second it goes just beyond your nose.  What this is causing is a difference in the force being used to propel the arrow.  It may be slight and hardly noticible but at longer ranges everything is multiplied.  You accurracy may be acceptable at 10 meters because there arc of the arrow is going to be fairly consistant.  At longer yardages the arc of the arrow will be noticable.

Another way to describe it would be for you to put a pencil on your desk and flick it off.  The distance the pencil travels before hitting the floor is in direct relation to the amout of force of your flick.  The harder you flick it the farther it goes.  This is what is happening with your shots.  You are not consistantly drawing the same shot to shot.  Find an anchor, hit it, then release.

Hi everybody, i read your comments and  i have tried to take lessons from them. So here is my new form, i draw full now(i think so) couse i draw my thumb bones back of my jaw bones, it fells greater and the arrow flies faster of course i draw more power. But back to form, what you have in mind now ? any big mistakes?

Draw looks good.  Anchor looks good.  Release looks good.  Your bow hand was almost out of the frame, but I thought I saw your fingers grab the bow on release.  Your fingers should be holding the bow loosely, but tight enough that they don't have to move when the arrow is released.

Better...but I see that your now bringing your head to the string, not the string to your head. Keep your head back where it's comfortable and draw that string to you anchor. That extra little bit will get your elbow back, which will help with the straight forward and back "push/pull and get more energy into your arrow
