A finger slips or lifts off the tab Aiming feels confusing or blurry Arrows go left or right unpredictably Both eyes want to stay open when I aim I can't get the sight to settle on the gold I can't hold at full draw I can't hold the sight on the target I catch the bow as it jumps forward I chase the string with my head at anchor I collapse just before release I creep forward at full draw I dread coming to full draw I flinch expecting the string to hit me I freeze and can't release at all I have to restart the shot to re-seat the arrow I lean back as I draw I look up to watch the arrow land I punch the release as the sight crosses the gold I see two sight pictures I squeeze the bow at full draw I've got a bruise on my bow arm My anchor feels different each shot My bow hand clenches at the loose My bow shoulder aches My bow shoulder sits up by my ear My drawing arm and biceps tire quickly My lower back arches at full draw My shoulders creep up towards my ears My weight ends up on my back foot Neck and trapezius ache after shooting One finger takes much more load than the others The arrow keeps dropping off the rest during the draw The bow arm feels unstable The bow feels heavy when I lift it The draw feels like a bicep curl The release feels different every time The shot goes off before I'm ready The string slaps my forearm There's no feeling of the back working Vertical groups are inconsistent White knuckles on the bow hand
