Turkeygirl Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 I stretched my left arm a little bit more, I think I was a little too bent in the first photo, and that put the string more towards the tip of my nose. Shoulder still a little high I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedicast Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Re: New form photo...let me know what you think I think it looks pretty good. The quiver is in the way of seeing your grip on the bow. Have you ever tried shooting with 2 eyes open? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DU_man_84 Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Re: New form photo...let me know what you think is it just me or does it look like your release is cutting off your circulation of blood to your hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted January 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Re: New form photo...let me know what you think It could have been....I might have had it tightended a little too much. I've tried 2 eyes but not comfortable with it - doesn't work too well for me,lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest buckeyehunter76 Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Re: New form photo...let me know what you think hard to tell, but it looks like your grip with your left hand is to tight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAstringking Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Re: New form photo...let me know what you think i also see a tight grip but its hard to tell considering the quizer is in the way. i dont shoot with 2 eyes either...it distracts me way to much!!

arrow32 Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Re: New form photo...let me know what you think Good form but like others have said loosen up the grip on your left hand some. Looks to be to tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slugger Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Re: New form photo...let me know what you think SHOOTINg with 2 eyes takes some practice but once you get the hang of it youll be ok. it makes a huge difference in low light situations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCH Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Re: New form photo...let me know what you think Looking at the position of the trigger, it looks like you'd only be able to get the tip of your finger over it. To help keep from developing the habit of "punching" the trigger, you might try to shorten it up to where you can "drape" your finger over the trigger. If you can get it to where your middle knuckle is over the trigger, that would help out a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IllinoisHunter Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Re: New form photo...let me know what you think A high shoulder isn't all that bad if you are aiming at a downward angle. The best way to shoot downward or upward is to bend at the waist and keep your shoulders in line with the target. Also, an easy way to keep a loose grip is to let the grip rest between your thumb and index finger. you shouldn't have to grab the bow with all five flingers.

brownie65 Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Re: New form photo...let me know what you think It might be me but I thought it looked like the cams were not in time. Doesn't look like the bottom one has broken over quite as far.Could be the way the bow is canted or the shadow on the bottom cam. Just doesn't look the same to me, anybody else notice this ? Other than that I agree maybe a little looser grip. I shoot with my hand open,don't grip the bow. I have to have a wrist sling or I would drop my bow.

magnatecsteve Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Re: New form photo...let me know what you think Just keep that grip loose..and it does look like your release could be shortened some also. Other than that looks pretty good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switchback29A1 Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Re: New form photo...let me know what you think I can't shoot the whole time with 2 eyes open, but i do open my left eye right before i release, it does help a lot during lot light. And loosen up the left hand, i used to do it and once i started loosening up and stoped a bunch of hand torque and my groups got much tighter.

Guest realtrhunter Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Re: New form photo...let me know what you think I agree with muggs, in keeping your left arm slightly bent. Anyone else think she might raise her left arm a bit to make a straight line with her right arm? It looks good other wise. Cerculation in her hand is definatly cut off. Not a good thing, you might punch the trigger due to lose of sensation in your fingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParsonsOutdoors Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Re: New form photo...let me know what you think Your release arm looks to be a little "elbow low". It should just about line up with your arrow plane. (No, not the flying kind. Try dropping your release hand and raising your elbow slightly.

They hold up well and they haven't worn down the coating on my Nap rest very much, i think because they have that finish on them. andy has some plain, I think Gold Tip, arrowsand they really wear down the coating on the prongs on his Nap rest.

ultratec1 Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Re: New form photo...let me know what you think This is just what my opinion is (so you may not want to listen ) There are certain things that I can see but it is what you are comfortable with. 1. Bow shoulder is to high. relax your bow arm 2. If you look at your pic you can see you are leaning back a little, this is due to draw being a tad to long. 3. Like previously stated you release elbow can be higher than it is. 4. Readjust your release so that you are using the 2nd pad of your finger for the release and not the tip of your finger. ( this will also help with your draw length) It all just depends on what you feel comfortable with and what kind of shooting you plan on doing. I understand that some like the way they are shooting and that they dont need to change a thing because of this. However when things are set correctly and your form is good then your shooting starts to get better and better. This is once again just my personal opinion. Also it looks like her cam is out of time due to her draw length. The Hoyt Rintec has a large range of draw adjustment and unless she is shooting off the upper half of the draw then the cams will be in this position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 Re: New form photo...let me know what you think have to agree with Ultratec1 on this also Ruth. when you take a picture of your shooting form, aim at a imanginary target at shoulder height. this gets us to look at what we call classic T form. i think if you were aiming at a shoulder height target your bow arm wouldnt look that bad. i totally agree with the release in your hand. shorten it up until you can get the second pad of your index finger on the trigger like ultratec1 said. having just a little finger on the trigger mill make you punch this type of release. once you shorten your release so that it fits your index finger right, i think these other slight form flaws will go away. believe me when i say ultratec1 is one of the best index finger shooters as an ametuer i know. he has notched a couple of big time wins this year and he shoots a index finger release. make a few corrections and re post some new pics.
