I shoot 3 under and am working on my release trying to get this right. I use a tab but the reason I am having so much trouble is on the release is the tab hits or rubs my mouth and libs really hard I try to hook my finger good and in the same place everytime. Am I not letting the string go fast enough or what.  Mike

What kind of results are you getting?  Are your shots going left, right, or straight (and are you shooting LH or RH)?

[LinemanARK]

Dave I shoot right handed. Well I don't know. Most of the time it hits were its suppose to maybe a little left of were I aim.  What do ya think.  Mike

Best way to figure out how to help you is if you could take a video of you shooting.

[LinemanARK]

Yeah I'll try and do that tomorrow if it doesn't get to dark before I get off work. Please guys if I can get a video up tell me everything i am doing wrong.  Mike

If you're pulling back slightly to the outside, rather than straight back, that will throw your shots to left and the string into your face.

[McDave]

If you keep pulling through the shot, your hand (and tab) should end up by your neck after your shot, and shouldn't come in contact with your mouth.  Alternatively, if your tab is overlapping your fingers, you can trim it.

If you are trying "letting the string go fast enough", that could be your problem. You can't open your fingers fast enuf to do this. Just relax everything from your fingers to your elbow and let the string push your fingers out of the way.

[njloco]

Can't help you with that, maybe someone will chime in here to help you with that.

You can first upload it to a site like youtube.com, and then you can post a link on here to the youtube video.

Where is your anchor point?

Just throwing this out there, Is your tab trimmed enough. Put your tab on grip the string like normal, put pressure on the string as to start your draw, now while pressure on the string look at your finger nails on the string hand, if you can see tab sticking out past the finger tips your tab most likely needs to be trimmed.
