here is the link to a video I did about shooting a selfbow. Not that anyone on here needs my video, it is more aimed to beginners and people who continue to tell me I dont hit full draw. haha   but in any event it shows that you dont need field archery form to be able to shoot.  There are likely a bunch of guys on this site that shoot just like me!

Don't know why others would be upset with your shooting form. ???  If you can shoot consistantly, accurately, and safely that is good archery form and you can definitly do all three.

Yep, that's about how I shoot.  Sure, it's savage, but it brings home the venison.

Looks good to me Ryan. Ive always kinda been of the mindset that it doesnt matter how u do it as long as you do it the same every time.

  I always say shooting selfbows you shoot the way thats natural to you. And everyone after a while gets into there own click. I know others that shot like that.

Glad to see it.I shoot pretty much the same way.I was'nt influenced with any former compound shooting.Just self bows.To me it is more versatile in different situations and like you say if done the same it is effective enough.Like the dogwood bow too.Thanks for going through the trouble of making the video.

 I hear just the opposite, I draw too far ???. I guess the guys on the other site didn't hear about you winning the Primitive division at the TBOF shoot last year. :)
