this is after 2 weeks of practicing for 3 hours everyday... tell me what you think, and tell me what I am doing wrong, if anything.


Don't mind the way I'm walking, I forgot to wear a belt.

You're using right-handed arrows in a left-handed bow. Other than that, it looks good.
buckmaster14a
how can you tell? Seriously, i didn't know there was right handed arrows.
Tarheeler

Looks like you could use a belt. It would drive me crazy to pull my pants up that often tongue.gif

well, today i shot water balloons from 20 yards tongue.gif it was cool watchinmg them explode.

The only problem I see is that when you release and the arrow hits the target, you have to keep pulling your pants up to retrieve the arrow.
You should be able to swing your arms freely when retrieving arrows.

Don't you have somewhere safer to shoot the arrows than at the porch? Form looked all right but I'm a little worried about your practice range there bucko. Do you have room away from the house or could you put the target inside your garage where if the arrow happens to go astray, it won't damage anything too badly.

I can see why if you did not watch the video entorely and did not take in the fact that Travis is left handed that the arrow apears to go towards the proch, but that is not the case tongue.gif
buckmaster14a
well, I am left handed and am shooting away from the house. There is no place I can shoot other than this way where i can't shoot towards a house.....

Ok, thanks for telling me about the left handedness. The old eyes missed that. Form does look like you're doing good, but you didn't show us where the arrows hit on the target. Set the camera up behind you so we can see how your draw looks from a different angle, and show us where you're hitting. Anchor point looked all right also.
If you're having any problems at all with where the arrow is going I'd suggest going to a small pro shop that gives individual attention. Most of the small shops around me love giving young shooters any advice they can to help. Hang around long enough and you might get a part time job, and the benefits would be tons of shooting help and bunches of hunters with stories.
buckmaster14a
if you look close jon, you can see that the arrows hit behind the shoulder blade, and low and behind in the heart area.
