    Hello Folks,

    My name is Russ. I wanted to consult avid bow hunters on my form. Does it need some help? I'm a second year bow hunter, long time shotgun hunter. Also, I bought my bow from Hunters Friend. PSE Brute X. I'm very happy with the way my bow was set up but I'm not 100% what I'm looking for. From this Pic (I hope it uploads) Am I drawing a bit longer than I should? It feels comfortable I'm just not sure.

    Thanks for any replies!!

    Welcome to the site Russ! There are a ton of knowledgable guys & gals on here.

    I wasn't really able to tell on your form, if you could upload a larger photo, it could help. Also if you could take a photo with out a baggy jacket on, it would help too.

    Again, Welcome :tu:

    Thanks Fitz. Will do soon. I was having a hard time getting the full image to upload so I saved it as an attachment. I'll try uploading it again in a different format and change the photo at a later date. Thanks again..

    Welcome Russ. looking at your last picture it does look like your draw legnth is to long with your release hand all the way behind your ear. Your bow sling looks tight to your hand also and could give you torque issues. I'm far from a expert coach so I'll stop there. Again Welcome!

    Welcome Russ. I can only see one thing that is a problem and that would be that old patriots shirt you have on. I bet if I sent you a colts shirt, you might have more LUCK! ;-)

    There are a bunch of guys and gals here with loads of knowledge.

    Good luck.
    Mike
