I've, again, a little question for you.
Some people, who have seen my vid, are saying that my draw is too long. What do you think about that. (My technique changed, it's a picture of 2-3 month ago)

I would say that it does look long. It looks like your arm that is holding the bow is straight, and still the DL is long so tomorrowwhen you go to your archery shop have themmeasure your draw length and make the adjustment for you. I like to rest my first knuckle and and thumb on the bottom of my cheekbone at full draw. It doesn't look like you could do that with that draw length on your bow. JMO tho.

I don't think it is that much too long, but that is just my opinion.
Are you still growing?

I don't know if I agree with what redneck said, it looks to me like your left arm does have proper bend, but its hard to see with clothing.

If you feel comfortable with it and shoot good with it, it aint too long!

Looks just like the old Pro Line I use as a back up bow.

I've draw my bow this morning (with my fingers) and the kisser is touching the "corner" of my mouth (When i'm "full draw").

Hi all,
I've shot some arrows on the archery field, and there's the vid
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GA68MF71Bno


I've not take a picture of it (and I should have took one), I've shot, at 20 meters, 3 arrows in 1" of diameter.

For my bad group, like i've written in the vid, there was a lot of mosquitos (It was almost impossible to shoot)

Hope you like it

Francis
