the leaning in 2 directions confused me haha i dont see how i am poking my chest out...just drawing back and lookin through the peep....but i plan to buy another release...i am VERY excited with the progress i have made so far and am just trying to do it right for season...which i plan to hunt in 2 weeks,drockw! how do i relax the bow arm...i dont get that either...if i relax it the bow would hit me in the face? lol
It isn't so much poking the chest out as it is bending the back and tensing up the chest area.
Hope that makes since.
Just stand up straight.

Don't get me wrong, there is muscle involved, you just want to use as much "bone to bone" contact as possible in the shoulder socket, you want to utilize a low shoulder position for a more relaxed bow arm. TFOX is much more versed at this type of thing than I am, he is definately someone you want to listen to when it comes to shooting form, your shoulder just sort of stuck out to me.

It isn't just your back foot but also your weight is on your heels.Your weight should be distributed evenly over both feet BUT you should have a 60/40 split to the balls of your feet.This should HELP take the bend out of your back.
