It's not automatic. Most folks tend drop the bow arm some and that's what causes them to shoot high. Same principle for shooting up a hill. If you don't bend at the waist to make the angle and raise your bow arm, you'll shoot low. I always draw level, anchor, look through the peep and then bend at the waist.

I assume when you say bend at the waist the means left and right not up and down? I've never thought about this before while shooting my bow. Maybe my excellent hand eye coordination just makes up for all this mechanical talk. Yes, he means bending up and down at the waist.

Smells, when I say dropping the bow arm, I'm referring to dropping it to make the angle.

Bend at the waist, trust me; this is my first season bow hunting and I had a really nice buck walk out 20yds, I DIDN'T bend at the waist and I watched my arrow go right over his back just before he bolted.

This is not something new or we made up. You are shooting from a ladder stand, what 12' ,15' ? The higher you climb the smaller the sight window. At 30 ft its tiny. yeah you might get away with it from a ladder, but from 20' or above its vital. Jumping the string is usually from a deer hearing the shot and reacting. the further the shot the more time it has to react. A quiet bow is deadly. Just keep it in your mind when you climb. hunt safe

The object of bending at the waist is to maintain proper shooting form while shooting at angles up or down. The nessessity to do so increases with the severity of the angle you are shooting. Ideally your body is making a T when the bow is drawn. The spine is the vertical portion of the T ; the bow arm and humerus of the release arm comprise the horizontal. By bending at the waist, you maintain the T. Shaw said it perfectly. Draw and anchor like normal, then move the T to target.
