Always high of my target, why??

Seems like I almost always settle in above my intended target and then have to bring my bow down to the target and sometime actually shoot on the move, which is not good.

How can I keep from drawing high of my target?
Thanks

toby,

In my opinion, it is better to draw from above the target and let your bow come down during the draw.  You have more muscles below the level of the bow (and gravity) to bring it down rather than just your upper deltoids to lift it.

The important thing to remember, no matter how you do it, is to maintain or attain an angle of 90 degrees between your bow arm and spine.  Draw so you are "square" and level on the horizon THEN adjust your aim ( up or down as required) by moving your entire arm/shoulders power unit into alignment for the shot WHILE maintaining that critical 90* angle!

Are you willing to give up what you are; to become what you could be?

Thanks Arnie, I have been fighting to do it the other way, but like your thought of drawing at 90 degrees first.
