Oh to be young again. I can remember my old Jennings wheel bow and arrows in a bin at Gibsons.

Are you just reposting things you have read on the www or do you actually teach others how to shoot?
I think you will find that there is a ton of info and help on TBH, even the experts on here learn from each other

That's how I learned to shoot...
To the op...exactly how many people over the age of 25 have you taught to shoot? And which is more important to good form: grip,anchor point or stance?

This thread lasted a LOT longer than I thought it would in the beginning. I like the idea of a techtiptuesday. Pictures or Videos would greatly help with understanding the tips. I will say that it take a bit of brash bravado, or a bit of courage to start a tech thread on an archery forum with so many great shooters. After reading the responses given by the OP, I think it is a mix of both.
An ex-mathews sponsored shooter told me that to perfect my stance, I should draw the bow on target in a very controlled environment, Close my eyes, and swing my body 90 degrees to the right and then 90 degrees to the left. Then bring the bow back to where you think the target is. If your sight isn't pointing really close to the original aim point, adjust your feet until it is. Repeat as necessary to get properly aligned. I normally shoot with a slightly closed stance, back foot slightly back from the target line, and this is where I ended up after the swinging right and left move also.
A Lot of the current pro's that I have watched either live, or in video, seem to shoot with a slightly open stance, several of them have their front foot pointing slightly at the target. I think the original tip is valid, and I think that other than a slight mine is bigger than yours attitude when challenged, the OP handled himself well.
Keep the tips coming.

This might help me. Every time I draw back, I am aimed to the right of my target. Maybe adjusting my feet would help. Worth a try. Thanks amigo!

I think the OP just came out wrong. After looking at the pictures and re-reading his statement I understood the tip. BTW - I already do that, so I guess that's good. Things fell off the shelf when he said he could out shoot others. I know some Matthew's Pros on here that travel around the country, not just a pro at a local shop.
Stay humble.
Also - I taught Chuck Adams everything he knows.
