    I finally am back into bowhunting after a long hiatus. I purchased a Bowtech Carbon Knight with the R.A.K. package. The re-branded 5 pin sight as a leveling bubble on the bottom.

    I have noticed when I draw, I have to arch my back backwards to get the bubble level.

    My question is, archery form the issue or do I need a counter balance or offset stabilizer to pull the bow perfectly 90°S.

    Thanks!

    First see if the level is set square with the bow. Then see if it is adjustable. Adjust it if needed/possible.

    Cant you just turn you wrist/hand a little at full draw to put the bubble centered in the level. I don't understand why arching your back if the only way to get it level. I can draw my bow and turn it horizontal. Maye change your grip a little. Make sure you try to use the same grip technique (hand placement) every time.

    I would put a level on it and calibrate the level on the sight. And try rotating your wrist instead of arching your back.

    The whole reason I asked about arching my back revolves around maintaining proper shooting form.

    I know that turning my wrist is fine.

    Thanks everybody!

    I'm knew to archery
