ONE DAY AT A TIME

[flinger]

as mentioned SLOW down,  Anchor point (the tip of my thumb goes in the little valley between my earlobe and jawbone EVERY TIME) ,GRIP;more like putting on a glove and Not chocking someone out
and it does look like your draw length could decrease by an inch or two
good luck and keep at it but don't get into habits before you and your bow are a good fit

[Button Nubbs]

alot of this has already been said but heres my critique:

-set your feet, in the vid where you dropped the arrow you take a step forward and start your whole cycle without your feet set.

-shorten your draw, alot.

-your bow arm is not consistent, sometimes its bent more than it is other times.

-your punching the trigger. when you are getting ready to release the arrow load up the trigger until it is about to go and then start squeezing with uyour back muscles. bam, you have a suprise release. this really takes alot of work but will be a huge pay off in the long run. if you want to talk more about this shoot me a pm.

-slow down! draw back and find a comfortable anchor

-find a consistent anchor

-one good thing i did see is that even though your bow is too long your not leaning back!

get that draw shortened, when you get that coupled with a sight things will start getting alot easier alot quicker! good luck man! its addicting!

Seth all I can say is.....we can only go up from here dude.     Just kidding.  Fear not we will have you shooting out to 40 yards with some confidence in no time. 

Was that you that came out to the range with Johnson the other day and I was shooting my red target bow?

[seth30]

no if were talking about the same johnson, he has invited me to tag along to the range.  Just waiting for the time where we both can get together.  I have yet to be at a bow range.

[Matt]

Ok it was another guy.  You Navy guys all look the same anyway.

Got it out to the range on Whidbey Island with a friend.  Found out Im great up to 30 yards.  Went for the 40 yard target and lost two arrows One hit the wood, and another went into the woods I have decided to hang my bow up until next payday so I can get it adjusted to my length before I truly devolep bad habits with it.  Thanks for all the advice guys in the previous posts!

Adjusted the site with the help of a friend and have added a new arrow rest that is silent as I draw my arrow back. Hit the bulleyse everytime now up to 20 yards that is Have established a anchor point, and just keep getting better and better. Thanks for all the help, now all I have left is to get a new string.  My bow string has started to frey. 

[Matt]

Wax your string

[jechicdr]

I'm curious to see if your shooting form has improved.  Should post more video.

[seth30]

It has but I need a new string

[seth30]

Dropped my bow off at wilderness Archery in Bow Wa.  Had to get new cables, and strings.  Looking foward for the day they call me up

I may have missed this, but are you using a wrist sling?  If not, get one and shoot with an open hand. Solid anchor point every single time!!  My anchor point has always been the fletching on my arrow in the corner of my mouth.  I wouldn't worry or shoot out to 40 yards for a while.  Don't forget, once you get your form worked out start shooting with all your hunting clothes on and practice from many different angles, sitting and kneeling as well.  Don't forget uphill and downhill shots as well.  Plus shoot a bunch without a target.  Makes you practice picking out a spot and consentrating on the spot, not some bullseye.  Seems very few of the deer out there walk around with those blullseyes on thier sides.

I have started using a anchor point, and my shooting range that I will be using this deer season doesnt stretch more than 53 yards. Once I get the bow back I will be shooting everyday, and will set my stand up at least once a week to pratice shooting off that.

PIcked up my bow last night   Its shooting really nice now!
