See anything I need to work on?
It is in slow motion btw.

Draw a line from your head to your belt buckle to directly between your feet. See the "S" curve? Stand up straight! Next, watch your bow arm as you get on target. See the arm drop out of 90 degrees to your body? Then, at release, watch your string hand. See it first pop out, then artificially move back to your shoulder? That indicates an arm draw and no back tension.
1. Stand up straight!
2. Draw directly to your facial references.
3. Keep the bow arm 90 degrees to your body/spine. If you are aiming down at a target at the ground, draw on the level then bend at the waist, DO NOT lower the bow arm.
4. Make the release and see where your string hand ends up WITHOUT any movement to the shoulder.
5. Post another video.

Thanks moebow. Will do! Tomorrow I will try and get another video up.
Thanks Moe, I have to remember not to drop my bow arm as well.

Another great video Arne!!
Can't thank you enough for the assistance you provide us.
You ARE appreciated. :clapper:
I had to login to tell Arne that the video has turned on a light as far as hand placement,I just realized when I hold the Bow that way I'm most relaxed and more consistent, just did'nt see it till now, Thank you Sir
Arne: Great bow hand bow arm video. Question: why the movement of bringing your string hand below anchor then up to anchor? thanks
Ron,
That slight downward movement (note that both the bow hand and string hand move together and slightly down)Helps with setting (loading) the back muscles. They are set during that motion then maintained and/or increased during expansion/follow through.
Once the back is set, the small lift to anchor maintains the back and sets anchor without loosing the back.
Arne
Arne: thanks, I'll work on that!

UPDATED FORM VIDEO.
Still noticed a few things I could change but overall my whole shot feels much better. My back feels involved. My follow through feels natural.
I noticed I didnt bend at the waist much though.
Let me know what you think arne

I can't get the video to go full screen so I can't see all the details but it looks really good overall.
Work on keeping that bow arm 90 degrees to your spine/torso. That will reduce the full body "quake" at release -- see your head and shoulders shift back then forward? This is relatively a minor point but one that will make the shot still more solid.
Arne
Thanks, Arne!
I can definitely tell the difference with back tension and that internal motion you described in your videos. Made a huge difference. A rock solid bow arm helped too! once I finally felt bone on bone contacts it all kind of fell into place.
