hows my form lookin now?

[earlmarne]

i just switched up to a stan sx2 n im not sure how i feel about it.n i just got my bow back from the tuner nuthing feels right after 5 weeks without shooting

[Austrian Hunter]

Completely different!!!  It will take a while to get used to shooting the stan sx2 release.  If you shot good groups before with the other release why changing 

[earlmarne]

well.im not sure to be honest.it seems all the big shots use handhelds n i wana be a big shot so i figured i better get with the program n start shooting a handheld

[grousetracker]

form looks good,curl your thumb around release handle. ARE THOSE BLOUSED COMBAT BOOTS YOUR WEARING?

[earlmarne]

nah just my late season huntin boots

[earlmarne]

im scared to wrap my thumb around till its go time cuz i keep launchin arrows into the woods on draw

[coachcw]

you need longer tee shirts , try some 5.11's

[earlmarne]

i thought belly shirts were in style?
i play hell with my huntin gear.i can get most bdu's in tall sizes but thats all ive found so far.ill check out 5.11.

I would say to much heel with your hand and to much bend in your arm.

[Jellymon]

In general form looks ok. Maybe a little less bend in you arm, and put the left edge of the grip just to the right of your lifeline on the pad below your thumb. BUT, this is if you want "perfect form" , and really, there is no such thing as "perfect form". If you look at all the top archers in the world they all have a different form. Reo Wilde, the top compound shooter in the world, leans back while shooting. Some would say his draw length is too long and his form is bad, but you cant argue his results. The best form is the one that gets YOU the best accuracy. Experiment and find out what works for YOU. Also, there is nothing wrong with a wrist strap release, many top shooters use them. Shoot a while with both and see which one is more comfortable to YOU. Going by what equipment others use is the worst thing you can do. Shoot what you like and are comfortable with.

No need to be keeping up with the Jones'.   Shoot what feels comfortable. 

[300UltraMagShooter]

You are reaching for the trigger on the second photo.  I've seen much worse, but you look much more confortable on the first photo "regarding your draw/anchor arm."

Your bow hand is where you're going to get in a lot of trouble.  Most of us can tell you grab your bow on release.  It is automatic with that much tension in your fingers to hold them open. 

1.  Get a set of finger slings to practice with.
2.  Turn your hand until your knuckles are about 45 degrees and relax your fingers/hand. 

Your entire job in shooting a bow is to aim (just like a rifle).... the rest should "almost" be done without thought.

[JLS]

Yes, a lot of tension in your bow hand.  Let your fingers relax and kind of tuck them in towards your palm.  The grip should not be crossing the lifeline in your palm.

[724wd]

in both photos you appear to be dipping your head.  have you tried raising your peep so you can stand with your neck relaxed?

but, as stated, if the arrows go where they're supposed to, form is no biggie!   

[BULLBLASTER]

another thing that I see that will help with steady aim and bow arm fatigue would be to push your left shoulder down so.that everything lines up from your wrist to your elbow and up to your shoulder. That way you are using bones to hold straight instead of so much muscle.
