Dont Hurt Me
Ok guys, I was bored today so I took a video of me shooting. I've been trying to work on lowering my elbow and anchoring my hand to my jaw area more. Check it out and any pointers are welcome. Oh by the way, I know I look legally retarded with that pose at the end there.

RE: Dont Hurt Me
You know your gonna get alot of ribbing and smack for putting this on here , I hope you can take it .
From what I saw when you were at full draw , you didn't have your bow arm striaght and you let down too soon.
How many pounds are you pulling , you might want decrease your poundage alittle so you'll be able to hold it at full draw longer.
I don't think you look retarded ... not legally anyway , a little mental maybe .

I would have to agree hold your follow through arm straighter and if you hit your arm turn your elbow slighly away from your bow straightening your forarm. Then you will not twang your arm.

You yanked the trigger...your head came up to see the shot thus the comments on the follow through. The shot should be a surprised, you triggered it with your finger and not back tension.

RE: Dont Hurt Me
You'll accomplish a LOT by shortening up that release so that your index finger lays about halfway over the trigger. You reached out for it and looked like you just barely got the last digit of your finger on it, and then punched it (a better visual may be thinking about it like pulling a trigger).
Your hand should not be hunched up after shortening the release; rather, it should be straight and in line with your forearm all the way back to the bend in your elbow. Think of your trigger finger as remaining static; in other words, you're going to actually try NOT to move it at all. You want it to be a stationary force which triggers the release AS YOU PULL YOUR HAND BACK INTO THE RELEASE. You'll accomplish that by squeezing your shoulder muscles together -- which is why it's important to not be overdrawn (too long a draw length). If your draw length is too long, it's pretty hard to use back tension to pull your hand into the release properly.
I'd say start there. If you learn how to trigger your release properly, that's 90% of the battle.

Ya I noticed that big time from watching it, and I guess I can thank TechoHunt for that habit. But how can I stop this? Thanks again
