Went to the Northern Archers Development Day. Michael Naray was the coach for the recurve archers and provided a 2hr session on things to consider when shooting. Since I was a lot more advanced than the others in my session group, I probably didn't pick up as much as the others did but I did get refreshed and alternative thoughts on how things are done.
Points for me that I took in is that I am not as centered in my chin position anchor as I thought. I should do more work in positioning the string more to the left to get centered. This however in turn causes a shift in sight picture and I need to use a blind on my left otherwise I have double vision on the sight picture. Fixable but a slight challenge due to the glasses I wear.
Balance wise, I could have a slightly greater tilt forward to assist in head position to the string, but it is only slight. Besides this, my hand contact is fairly good but just have to make sure that my elbow isn't too low. Between the chin and in line with the ear is okay, but hand position contact against the ramus of the jaw is more important.
Positive notes is that my shoulder alignment and elbow alignment behind the arrow is very good.
The other thing that I also learnt was an exercise to held having a relaxed bow hand.
Overall it was a really useful session I thought, and I hope the other three from the club who attended also learnt a lot.

ahmm, i saw your first post in 2006/7 and your last few posts. Looks like your score/ratings haven't improve my a lot in the last few years!
That is correct. I stopped shooting in a serious capacity between the end of 2007, 2008, 2009 and half of 2010. Then upon restarting shooting in 2010 I re-worked my form twice, and am currently still in the process of settling into a set form. If you note in my arrow count, I didn't shoot any in 2008 at all...
But it's great that you've come back to visit~~
