Actually, I opened the door in case the release misfired, I accidentally bumped the release or something happened. I had a block target on the porch railing.


Yep, either bend my elbow, or request that Bowtech starts making the Liberty in a 31" draw
I do indeed shoot with both eyes open.

I could probably look till I'm blue in the face, but I can't write that long. Your anchor point (right hand) is too far back on your face. Part of it is because the bow's drawlength is too long--maybe 1/2' to 3/4" from what I'm seeing. Another give away is that the kisser button (if you have one) is at the back corner or just beyond your the corner of your mouth.

Bent arm isn't really necessary. You could possibly just push everything forward a bit. Straighten the left arm, but don't lock it. Actually the bowarm look spretty good. I'd shorten the bow. Better to be too short than too long.

Josh, I'd give you my opinion but my form probably isn't as good as yours[:-]

BGfisher is on the right track. I might disagree with him on 1/2-3/4". I look at it more like 1-2" if you're more of a hunter.

If you're shooting tournaments, your form might work OK for you. If you're a hunter, you need some help.

my current anchor point (and one I've used since I was about 9 years old, is putting my index finger knuckle on my ear lobe. Not shooting a kisser button (bare string..only factory silencers on it), however, I do put the end of my vane against the tips of my lips... as you would do if you were kissing it (KISSER button?), and not in the corner. I'll try and get some pics with the better digital tomorrow.. I'm not too sure if I can get anyone to take the pics for me though (doesnt have a timer). I will head out to the archery shop the next chance I get, and borrow some of the shorter drawing modules, and see if my accuracy improves.

Thanks for the info guys.. keep it coming!!!

Yeah, you try telling that to a mother who collects EVERYTHING.

Hey, the clothes just so happend to be what I grabbed as I stumbled my way outta bed and made my way to the computer.

My opinion is along the lines of Len and Barry........but I'm not necessarily seeing a huge draw length problem that Len is?.....maybe the 1/2-3/4" as Barry described, What I'm seeing is an anchor problem.
Working back from your bow hand, Everything looks "semi-OK" until I get beyond your nock point........why such a large gap between where that release attaches and your hand position?
Is it because you are comfortable with your "learned" anchor techniques and you felt the need to stretch things out to get your "Perceived" 31" needs?
I have to tell ya, I think a 30" or possibly a 29.5" is your correct draw length (Probably more toward the 29.5" for hunting) You are absolutely NOT a 31" draw length shooter........you have an incorrect 31" draw length anchor.
If your hand was closer to the point of attachment of the release the picture wouldn't look so goofy.

Your release arm position and anchor is such that you have to be suffering with akward angles and positions and shooting down from a treestand. You simply have no more room in left in your body position to pull through a shot properly with back tension.

That's my initial take.
Plus the pictures pretty much suck.

Because my finger isnt on the trigger. didnt want to take any chances with it going off. Its a buckle strap, and I just had my fingers wrap around where it joined my hand. I'll definitly try to get some pics tomorrow, and possible a short 2 second video of my release.

Thanks guys
