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.

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks

hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
