 i have been struggling with good form as of late BUT i am shooting well and finally got a handle on it a little more yesterday. kind of need another set of eyes to watch ya know, Merlin has my back!  
Ken, if I could spend an hour with you I think I could help your shooting. I can see many things I would suggest you change in your shooting form. You have good potential but you just need someone to critique your style..   :archer2:

An hour? How about a weekend? That way all of us yankees can enjoy some coaching, stumping, camp fire stories, Mama's cooking, etc. Plus, Ken really needs the help, but me more so. Come on Ron, you know you want too...  :bigsmyl:    :pray:

I hope to hit that mountain with you fellas again this year. Last year it was a good start to the season. Lets just keep Charlies pot behind the bushes this time.

I'm with Izzy on hitting the mountain early in the season like last year.  If Izzy is with us, we can count on meat in the pot.
Great pictures.  If your day job doesn't work out, you could make it as a photographer.

Ken, here's a couple pictures someone took about a week ago at a shoot. First picture is at full draw, solid anchor at corner of the mouth, bow arm slightly bent.
