Chris,  Don't know what you are looking for.  IF you are hitting what you want then press on.  

If not, then SLOW DOWN!!  You are shooting so fast that you have no solid references.  Your string arm elbow is VERY low, your bow shoulder is VERY high, your string wrist is VERY tense and you appear to be using just arm with a very "active" bow arm(violent drop on release) and no back at all.

Bottom line is IF your are hitting to your satisfaction and consistently then change nothing but if not, SLOW DOWN!

I hit high alot.  After watching it myself I went out and started working on my bow arm.  I wonder if bringing up the string elbow will help getting into the back.

Chris,  If you haven't looked at my videos you might want to.  I am NOT saying to shoot like you see in the videos but they MIGHT give you some ideas on alignments.  they can be found on Youtube -- TheMoebow1.  Just go there and do a search, they will come up.

Wholy cow. Watched the vids.  Went out to the hay bales with a flash light and was drilling it with no high shots.  Could really tell that I wasn't using my back before as fatique was quick.  Fixing the back fixed the bow arm.  Now to practice and make it Stick.
