The main thing to work on at this point is your anchor. Pick a spot that is easily repeatable with a clear reference point (e.g. cheekbone, corner of mouth). You do seem to be struggling with holding the draw weight, as you tend to float a few inches in front and to the side of your face. When at full draw, hold onto the shot and let the fingers relax. If they come flying off to the side, you have plucked the string. When you try too hard to let go, you chuck the shot sideways. I'd also recommend not using the sight until you work on fundamentals. The multi-pin hunting sights clutter your sight picture. I would not really recommend doing fine tuning (e.g. paper testing) at this point. Your form is not consistent enough to produce a clear result that you can work with. The tuning won't really matter until you get to the point where you are going to shoot more than your backyard.
@NUSensei cheers dude, I have taken the sight off and I totally agree with the release being bad even i realised that when I was re watching it but these are the tips I need cheers
@NUSensei hey I've spent a bit of time finding what anchor point works for me and it's cheekbone thanks for the advice again, definitely getting more consistent shots now
I recommend you strip the bow , take everything off it except the arrow rest while you get the feel for the bow , make sure the arrow rest is centred most important use the paper test ( can find on youtube an easy way to see if your arrow rest is centred ) and looks like your knock point is a little high as when you pull the bow back the arrow looks like is pointing down a little though this could just be the camera position ?? , I like the bow could you tell me what it is , its power , price where you got it from please , thanks for the vid 👍
@Dave300AMG cheers dude I have taken the sight off and I shall re check my knocking point. The bow is 35lbs, it's a junxing f163 it was like £120 from chn archery
@@chriswatkins969Stripping the sight is actually good advice. But for me I ended up being better at shooting instinctive than using a sight so I kept mine off heh. Best advice is to practice lots and to just get used to the way your bow & the arrow behave. Your form looks good but you don't have to strictly follow the rules about form, I end up shooting how it's comfortable for me and just adjust my aim for whatever my form makes the arrow do heh
@axiealthor2067 yeah I get that, I don't have any sights on my other bow and I shoot better but this was a new bow and it came with the sights so I put them on, they've been taken off now
@@SHTFpreppingUK they're based in china unfortunately so shipping takes ages and this is the first bow i got from them but it's decent so id say go for it if you don't mind the 2 weeks or so shipping. merlin archery is another site i use
