I tried searching for this and didn't come up with anything.

I understand proper form, etc. but some people seem to stand slightly different, hold their head a bit different, etc. and I am still settling into my exact 'form'.

Can you all please post some pictures of you at full draw? It really helps me to visualize what to do.

If you will refer to Terry's Form Clock at the top of this forum, I think you'll find what you're looking for.

@McDave:

I have Terry's form clock as my desktop background. Was just wanting to see some other people at full draw.

Shooting with a slight cant.


Depending on the slope of the terrain or whether I'm shooting from a stand, standing or sitting my so called form is the same..

This is what I use on the range; in the field; seated; crouched; and in my kitchen when I need a photo but it's raining outside    :bigsmyl:

From last week's fun shoot, simulating sitting in a blind   :)  

But yeah, try to line up like the form clock no matter what stance you have and you won't go wrong IMHO.  :)

Good pictures all. Thank you. It helps me to better visualize what I am doing when I can see it being done. Like I said, I have the form clock as my desktop background to constantly re-remind myself.

I have 7 months behind the bow shooting almost every day, and it still hasn't completely 'clicked'. Certainly a lonnggg journey getting consistent with the longbow. I am shooting a one-piece longbow off the shelf, and shooting instinctively.
