    THAT! Seriously, I learned more from that 12 minute video than probably anything else related to archery I can think of. When JJ said push the hand against the bow without being locked out at the elbow/wrist etc. it clicked. I ran to my bow and sure enough, my draw length is too long. Been shooting it wrong awhile. I Hate not being accurate! Long story and I wont be boring, but I used to shoot some on a pistol team. Thanks again Elk Shape and all involved. :)

    Okay, so I looked at this and though about checking out a recent clip I posted on instagram of me shooting, and I was leaning WAY back. So I took the advice in this video and shortened my draw length up a half inch on my Hoyt Helix and BOOM, squared right up, no more hyperextension in my left elbow, and I didn't have to adjust my rest, I'll shoot this afternoon and see if I'm steadier during full draw, thanks a TON!

    Thank you so much for this video! my draw seemed fine, always felt comfortable with it but I shoot a Stan Perfex resistance and felt something was off because I had to adjust the resistance really low to get the extension to get it to go off and thought I may be a bit long but after watching and listening to MFJJ work with Tim I realized I had my bow arm elbow the same direction, I went down my basement, made the adjustment and holy shit!!! I's amazing what a small form adjustment did, I could hear angels singing as the shots broke

    Great info glad I watched. But I have the opposite problem. My 30" bow I bought when younger and dumber is way to short. When I was young I could power through it. I can't no more. Want to start shooting a bow again but can't get anyone to believe me at the stores. And no one caries anything with a longer draw to even shoot to figure out my actual draw length.

    You CAN stand straight up. Not sure what that comment was about saying you can’t, and you will always have some lean.
    Turning the elbow out first would have been logical as well.
    The analogies are odd, but the end result is the same.
    He is punching the release, then trying to add follow through.
    You CAN learn this on your own, and you don’t need an expert to figure it out for you.
    When you change D/L you should always check your tune. You have just changed how much force the arrow will need to deal with. Spine might be slightly off.
    If you are doing this, try to aim at something that keeps tge arrow level.
    Lastly, don’t draw a bow without an arrow….
