If you can work with the kids lighter bows to build up that shoulder and get a comfort zone , that might work.
Just bend the bow arm elbow to accommodate the shorter draw length and that will also allow you to hold alot longer as you search out that perfect spot on each draw.

Use a mirror to try and get your form down. Make a draw tool with your DL. Use a dowel pin with a string tied to it. Hold the pin as you would your bow and hook your release to the string and simulate the proper draw. That may give you some muscle memory.  |

I remembered the camera last night while we were shooting. Here is my son taking a shot.  My daughter taking her turn and getting a little instruction from Eastern hunter. sometimes it is easier to let some one else teach your kids instead of fighting with them.   Here are a couple of shots of me shooting to see If I have managed to get the elbow up where it should be. Critiquing allowed and asked for.   But then again with shots like this one why worry aboiut it?  But then again this was only a ten yard shot. We had some fun and look forward to the next shoot. |
