I hurt my collarbone using a compound bow, is this a result of bad form, how can I correct it?

Jaz asked:
I got a compound bow for my birthday, its a 55 pound draw, and I’m pretty new to archery. I went out and shot as many arrows as I could for a couple days. My right collarbone began hurting soon afterwards (I’m right handed) and I’m trying to figure out if its a result of bad form or if ‘m just sore from using different muscles to shoot the bow.

There is nothing wrong except you jumped into it and shot too much too soon. Lay off a while and just shoot a few arrows a day, and every few days add a few shots to your shooting session. The muscles you use in bowshooting are not normally used in the course of everyday life. You will have to gradually build up to the extended shooting sessions.
