still can't hit much -- how is my form

jeffp51:
Any suggestions on how to get a better release?  is it mostly about a secondary anchor point, or is there something else?

willie:
one thing I noticed in the video is that you seem to be tightening your grip on the bow just before he release.(on a couple of the shots)  do you generally try to shoot with a loose or tight bowhand grip?

you mentioned natural shoot arrows? does one shoot consistently better? pick that for the "one arrow at a time" test

PEARL DRUMS:
Eye dominance can screw a guy right up. I know of at least a few who switched from righty to lefty and became fine shots.

jeffp51:
I am left eye dominant, and I shoot right handed, so that could be a factor, but every attempt to shoot left have been disastrous. I wonder how to compensate.

PEARL DRUMS:
That's your problem. My cousin couldn't even shoot a set-up compound that way. His arrows went all over heck. He switched to lefty and shoots like a pro now. My advice? Get a 25-30# bow and start shooing lefty now. Its a damn tough trick to cheat eye dominance and win.
