Been shooting lefty since March if I remember right, maybe just a little longer than that. How does it look so far?

Your alignment looks good....but I am seeing a little forward creep a split second before you release..........going to watch it again to make sure.

Yep...you can definitely see it by stopping and starting the video quickly once you reach full draw...(play/pause)

Here's your alignment before the collapse at the end....can't get much better than this.  If you could only creep reward the amount you are creeping forward....your power points(wrist and elbow) would be perfectly parallel with your arrow and shoulders....the exact alignment you are looking to achieve.

The ONLY thing I would work on is once at full draw, concentrate on slight rearward creep that last split second.

I see the creep and totally agree with Terry!!  I think as you start to relax your string hook, you are relaxing in the back too.  this is common and is something we all have to work on -- maintain/increase tension in the back as we relax our string fingers.  Takes practice and concentration.

Great! I'll work on that. Hopefully it's coming together quickly enough for hunting season :-)
