the one i was thinking of was you talking about being injured as a result of trying to achieve some aspect of 'perfect' form (i THINK it was elbows there too ? )

ah - found it -

Hence, why from now on I try and prove it isn't the be all and end all (with real piccys of archers far far better than us).
I expect the last sketch also has a hand that's impossibly far back along the face.... move it forwards and the rear shoulder and elbow come out.
