Your draw length looks too long, your grip looks a bit deep and it's forced open. Your hand should be relaxed, not gripping the bow tight, or forced open.

Your release hand should not be that far in back of your head. I think your peep may be set a little high as well.

I will give you props on standing up straight with your head aligned well and not bending down into the string though. I'm amazed your posture is that good with the draw length being long, then again I can't see your whole body.

I'm gonna take a guess and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. That bow came from Cabela's, Bass Pro or something similar didn't it.

This is what happens when your draw lengh is too long, see how he's leaning back (My grandson). ( Of couse he's only four). This is the bow his dad bought him way too long of draw for him.. Your need to tuck those fingers in. When you have them poining out like that you are not relaxed... your knuckes need to be at fourty five degees slant from your grip and your fingers tucked in like a dead spider.


Sorry, I can't get my pic to load up.

what does that mean? you just qutoed a pic that i put on. am i missing something?

Because most pro shops would not have let you leave with the draw length too long.

Other than that I honestly have to say you look pretty good. You probably shoot pretty well with it like that. But once it fits you better and you get used to it will more comfortable to shoot. I still think your grip could be better as well.

I'm going to give you another tip. NEVER draw a bow with a release and no arrow in it!!!!! Always try to use an arrow and have it pointed in a safe direction (at a target). If your release or the string loop fails you will dry fire the bow. And that is not a good thing.

As far as the cams go I can't help with you that, but they don't way off at any rate. If they are off you should be able to feel it when you come to full draw.

ok thanks, with my grip besides it looking like it is forced open, if i moved my palm up on the grip would tha be better?

millerhunter13
