This post is delicated to female archers-male archers can still read them =)







Looking at the both picture, you can see that both of our girls are shooting with a "bent" arm(still subjective as it is still an on-going debate; i see it as bent) .



There are some on-going talk about this in the forums, do take a look.



Archery Interchange 1.1


Archery Interchange 1.2 (same topic another discussion )


Archery Forum



It is not wrong to shoot with a bent arm so long alignment is right and also not compromising clearance for the arrow. There are very good archers scoring 1200 ++ on a full fita having that kind of arm too, this is due to body structure , for some people, it can be changed, some just adapt.



Some of the juniors might have this problem too, feel free to ask your mentor, they will try your best to answer your question and help you.
