Well, I put my buddy John on the chopping block. Now here's something that probably realy needs help. When I have trouble, It's usually a left/right problem. Let me know what you guy's think. I can stand the truth. thanks Don

Thats what I want my shot execution to look like one day! Not enough release hand flippin though. Gives the video more action if you fling your hand little ;) (LOL) Good shootin buddy!

Well, I certainly admit that you, Don, keep your hand in to your face a lot better than that other "hack" (That "Hack" is my good friend BTW) did in the demo he did. I have always envied your form and the one thing all of you "straight shooters" have in common is consistantly deadly shot focus. I'll defer to others to pick you apart ;) .
Me - folks are always complimenting me on my form, etc. - then I can't hit diddly squat, consitantly - so - there ya go!
(At the beginning of the video I thought you had been scared by a wild California Surfer and bleached your hair blond - gave me a real start there for a minute - :D )
Maybe that's my problem - I can't stay serious long enough at a time to be really good - :biglaugh: Well I'm a firm believer that laughter is the best medicine - and I need a lot of meds these days.

Yeah Bernie, My wife's a cosmotologist, and I can't get a hair cut. Like the mechanic whose car runs like crap. Don

LOL - There's a lot of that sort of thing going around these days. You can always threaten to shave it, like I do - maybe your lovely wife would even like that ;) :goldtooth:

It may sound a little dumb, but your nocks seem to really 'snap' onto the string. They really sound to be too tght. I know that with my bow this causes a lot of L/R issues. It also looks like you could put a little more back tension into the shot. That dead loose would indicate that you're not expanding through the shot & follow through. It looks like you gt a full draw, then let down 1/2" or so to settle at anchor. I'd try & maintain that initial pressure rather than coming down to anchor. You'v certainlygot the potential to increase your drawlength a good inch or so.

That click you here is typical of the carbon express nocks. They have an initial snap at the opening of the nock, but then set perfectly on the string. I know this because I built his string. :D

Hey thanks rob. Back tension is something ive tried to work on. I think I'm going to have to go to a lower anchor to achieve this. Something i'm definately gonna work on after hunting season and before 3d kicks in. I know i can shoot tighter groups with a lower anchor, just got to get that sight picture programed in my brain. Don
