Shouldnt let the bow hit your leg, otherwise perfect form.

The competitions up here would disqualify you for that alone, otherwise A+

[erikaanear]

@samljer it's not against Fita/World Archery and I don't shoot in other organisations :) so all good... more shouldn't hit your leg cos it leaves nasty bruises :S

[battletoads22]

Doesn't your hip get irritated (at the least) with allowing the bow to hit you after you fire it?

[erikaanear]

@battletoads22 no different to copping the arrow rest on my bow hand every shot.

[Ripstik686]

what BEASTY bow is that???

pls respond

[erikaanear]

@Ripstik686 It's a Hoyt UltraElite

Dont you hate when people tell you how to shoot??? I mean, If you are confy shooting your way who are these people to tell you other wise. Archery is as much about feel as it is mechanics.

[SimonDHracing]

@taperunner4 I agree!!! I fu**in hate to be told that my form isn't perfect... I know it and it will never change because of a shoulder injury due to a work accident. But what pisses me the most, Is being told that by peoples that are having a perfect form but who are not able to pin a single arrow in the bullseye at 20 meters when I know that I can easyly do it at any distance from 10 to 50 meters!

Exemplaric draw - cool girl!

[KansasCombatArchery]

378,359 hits today ..Thats alot ...

[sticbow]

Draw looks a tad bit short, looks like after a while it would create tension in your shoulders I'd like to see the "T" formed a little more.

But then again what do I know.... good luck with archery competition this year

[desert1cop]

Beautiful shooting the only thing moving was the strap hanging down and your heartbeat was doing that,great concentration !

[paroleviolator]

You are absolutely beautiful and so is your bow. I'm sure like all hobbies it cost a small fortune to set up ur bow.

[pengsylvania]

@MrKristianson1994 , she isn't twisting her release, if you look at her follow through when she releases she's using back tension.

[dickyobuttgirl]

do you do your own set up& tuning on your bow?
