Training: "Gotta Connect"
Last training session we worked with removing the slings on the bow hand for proper bow release.
This weekend, we will focus on the connection at the jaw with our string hand, which helps rotate the elbow further back, and we will review how to maintain that loose grip on the bow.


Equipment:
We will review “brace height” on the bow string and its importance.

String hand Correct position: solid anchor-no space between hand and jaw line. Pinky touches neck.
 

CORRECT.

Common error:

Opening - does not "lock" along jaw. Relies on index knuckle. Can't get elbow around behind the arrow line.
