[SET THE HOOK]

here is a pic of her at full draw she still would have to drop her arm some to be aiming on the target, where she is now is where she gets stif

Is she over bowed? Can she draw the bow with it pointing at a downward angle and bring it to target? Her draw length is too long.

 

[SET THE HOOK]

draw length is way to long! can you get a better pic from the side then im sure some of the guys who really know will chime in, but draw is definetly long.

Don't drop your arm. Pivot at the waist.

draw way to long, shorten it until the nock is the same as her eye

 

[SET THE HOOK]

just from looking at the pic again 2" long her anchor is past her ear and the string should touch her nose.

Without a doubt WAYYYYY to long on the draw. That is a great place to start, and would help with other things as well.

 

[SET THE HOOK]

not sure where you got the bow but if you got it from a proshop i would take back have them shorten up the dl then repost some pics w new dl guys here will get her shooting good. cool little bow BTW.

 

[dannyboone]

yeah she can a little but still has some trouble i do know her draw is about 2 inches too long could that be a problem

 

[SET THE HOOK]

is that a kisser button below her eye?

 

[tbuckslr]

Try putting a fairly heavy stabilizer on her bow,8-12 oz.

without a doubt! how many pounds is it at? she has no consistant anchor like that.

 

[dannyboone]

thanks guys i wil have it taken to the proshop and have her dl shorten and then post new pics, all advice helps a bunch, i wasn't sure what to do for her.

 

[skiatookbandman]

Ditto on the draw length. There definitely needs to be a significant adjustment made there. At that point you have a platform for any additional modifications that need to be made.

 

[dannyboone]

she is set at 46 lbs now and yeah that is a kisser button its supposed to come by the edge of her nose but as trouble getting it there, and i think that could be due to her draw

 

[flinchmatic]

way too long

She is struggling to keep it back at anchor. I don't care what feedback she is giving you ....Shorten it up!!! ---Mike

Kisser button goes on the corner of the lip not the nose. Bring it down some after you get the draw length fixed.
