Whats considererd a good follow thru???

[NEBRbruiser]

I am fairly new to bow hunting and havn't really been around a veteran shooter. I don't want to start off with bad habits right away so I'm wondering if someone can tell me what they consider a good release? Like what you should feel, see, etc. Thank you

You should keep your aim point steady for atleast 2 seconds after the shot. The shot should feel smooth and remember to keep your elbow up and stay focused on the shot for 2 seconds after you release your arrow.

With a compound using a release, I want to squeeze (not pull) the release and keep my form the same until I see the arrow in flight through my sight.

Go to youtube and watch some of the form videos. Video yourself shooting and see if you follow through properly. Here's a good one.

keep your pin on target till the arrow hit dont get no simple than that

I agree. I try to do that every time when I shoot.

I've only harvested one deer with a bow but I squeeze the trigger (as was previously mentioned) which is pretty easy since most aren't real heavy. When I shot my deer i kept my bow up until the deer went out of sight. That way I know I wasn't screwing up my form.

To me it's not much different than taking a deer with a rifle. Squeezed the trigger and watch it fall in the scope. Same principles apply with a bow, IMHO.

All those are correct, everyone likes to see what there shooting and where the arrow hits so they drop there bow away to see where the arrow hits and you always miss. SO watch the arrow hit the target through your site. And another is form everything you do when you shoot has to be repeated on every shot or you will see a different hit or miss. next thing relax and dont shoot to quickly never rush take a breath and release easy no hard pulls. Another big problem dont knock your arrow from the side, put the arrow on the rest and knock it that way. The reason is that if you do it from the side you will turn the string to lay it on the rest. Therefore you peep site will be turned wrong and your shot will be off. Bows are science up is down and down is up left is right and right is left when your sighting in. You shoot high you move the pin higher, you shoot to the left you move it to left. But the best advice is shoot with someone who has done it then its simple.
