Bruce- If I were to say any one thing about your form, it appears as though your a bit long in the draw. I would shorten it up a bit and I think that will also help you with the fatigue you experienced. It appears as though your stiff arming your bow arm and pulling way past your optimum anchor spot. The lean is also an indication. But I'll also add this disclaimer to my suggestion, COMFORT IS KEY!! If you are comfortable with that form and you are shooting as well as you'd like, by all means continue to do so.  |

Ideally you nock should be 1/2" forward or back from the vertical line that intersects the corner of your mouth. Within the 1" it is a matter of comfort level. Try getting that elbow of the release hand up and horizontal from the hand which is going to entail moving the anchor point upward. With the third knuckle of the release hand touching the lobe of your ear , you will have everything squared and if you shoot that way for a day you will be far more stable and comfortable in all positions that are not standing positions. That's the one thing I would do if I were you. |

What they say! Also - by moving the hand forward just a bit, shortening your draw, you will get a much better anchor point. This will add bunches of stability to your shooting and will really help you repeat great groups at farther distances.

I am working toward getting that right elbow up but have some issues with the shoulder. I continue to work on it but it just isn't there yet is it? thanks for pointing that out. We are going to look at the bow and see if we want to takel changing the mod ourselves or trying to find someone close that can do it for me.
Still one sweet working bow.
