I've been working very hard to get to 80 lbs and finally did (safely). I'm wanting to make sure I'm using the correct form when drawing it back? I've been using high shoulder high arm and elbow but try not to go to high. Some people say high shoulder isn't good some say it's the correct way. What's yall's opinion?
 
I assume you’re using a compound bow? If so watch the video. It shows where both shoulders should be. You can not be accurate if your bow holding shoulder isn’t in the same position on every shot. Longevity is also impacted. Not destroying your shoulders.

I use a recurve. The draw cycle is different. But shoulders are the same.

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!

Here we are, the last day of the show in Denver, it's been a good show but expecting a quiet day today. I will be back for-sure to do this show next year and maybe also do the one in Sacramento California.

On Monday I will be hitting the road driving from Denver and eventually make it down to Atlanta for the flight home.

its going to be a good year!

Hi Rem280, Saw your post on getting selected for Idaho Elk. Do you have a zone(s) selected? I live in N Idaho, might be able to offer some ideas.

Cheers,

Craig
