good video, thanks for sharing. I sure hope that's one of those releases designed for drawing a bow without an arrow in it. I hate to see a dry fire from a bad caliper.
I bought a compound bow, I was in agony with my bow shoulder because I wasn't totally square, I must have been using muscles in my bow shoulder to hold it back while drawing and the pain was consistant for a couple of days even though I wasn't shooting anymore, I checked out how to avoid extreme archery pain, squared up, keeping my draw arm level and my bow arm right back so really no muscles being used and now it is very easy and totally pain free, I did think I was going to give up archery, the more of these good video's the better
sarasinecureuil Yes I know that now :), it isn't so much muscle power because I am a strong guy having trained all my days and boxing training, it is the rotation of the bow shoulder due to two things, 1st' I did not have a straight line when drawing so using my bow shoulder to pull also and 2nd I was drawing high then rotating to lower below my chin, the rotation rotated my bow shoulder also as that's what is does, the grinding almost of the join was incredibly painful, now having changed the way I draw I can draw much more weight for many more shots and zero pain :) happy shooting.

and if you should be using your back muscles instead of your arm or elbow to pull back the string
