Spend a fiver, put a clicker on, the rest of your productive archery career just began. With a clicker if it does not go clicker before you loose you loose a fletch, maybe an arrow, most likely into the grass or a tree if you are shooting field. There is NO other option bar to get through the clicker and loose. Thusly if you maintain your posture a clicker instantly blackmails you into shooting properly.

If you *must* go with the non clicker route, drop off 5lb of draw weight and go from there.
Agree almost completely with Yorker on this one. Except for the last sentence; when you have this problem you have it regardless of the bow weight. I have/had this problem with longbow and halving the bow weight did not help! Why are so many people anti-clicker?
