Correct form for high poundage bows

[Conner_Da_Bow_Hunter]

I've been working very hard to get to 80 lbs and finally did (safely). I'm wanting to make sure I'm using the correct form when drawing it back? I've been using high shoulder high arm and elbow but try not to go to high. Some people say high shoulder isn't good some say it's the correct way. What's yall's opinion?

I draw with my arm probably eye level is that too high?

I assume you’re using a compound bow? If so watch the video. It shows where both shoulders should be. You can not be accurate if your bow holding shoulder isn’t in the same position on every shot. Longevity is also impacted. Not destroying your shoulders.

I use a recurve. The draw cycle is different. But shoulders are the same.
