Title: Id appreciate some input on my form - clip
Post by: Matabele on June 15, 2009, 04:58:00 PM
Hi all,

Id appreciate some feedback and constructive criticism on my form.

 (http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s194/Tamboti/th_MarksArcheryForm.jpg) (http://s152.photobucket.com/albums/s194/Tamboti/?action=view¤t=MarksArcheryForm.flv)

Looking at the clips I was wondering if Im dropping my bow arm, seems to be some movement during the shot, or is this typical?

Im shooting instinctive out to about 20 yards, then switch over to gap. Still need a lot of work on my gap shooting as Im finding it difficult to keep a consistent reference with the arrow tip on the target (cause its blurred), but I'll stick at it.

Probably hard to say, but do you think my bow is noisy?

Any input is welcome, thanks!

Pretty much a novice myself, but it looks good, the last release was perfect. How are you shooting? It would seem you should be shooting good with that form.- Steve

Thanks for the reply Steve,

I feel pretty good when Im shooting, as in Ive got a solid pre-shot routine and generally when things start going wrong Ive got a good idea where to look to fix it. At the moment Im shooting about 4" groups out to 20yards consistently for about 30 arrows before I get tired and things get a little loose  :D  On good days I can do a little better.

Always looking to improve tho!  :D  Thanks again.

You're shooting barebow consistantly with 4" groups at 20 yards and asking for advice!?    :eek:  

I think you're asking for trouble.     ;)

It looks pretty good to me.  The first angle seemed to make the right elbow a little high but the others looked good.
