My thoughts differ, just because you shoot a recurve, longbow, or a selbow, there is no excuse for bad form and the lack of back tension.
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

Great job with all the videos!  I enjoy the wilderness skills ones too.

I just finished Clays book and really enjoyed that too!  

I dedicated 60 days to going through the shot sequence but never firing a single shot.  Did this last Jan/feb.  Mostly to try and control target panic.  I think it helped with my form, but as soon as I allowed myself to start shooting, the dang target panic was back.  I purchased Joel Turner's book and have had good control and great time shooting since!

Clay, I thoroughly enjoy all your videos and learn something from each one. Please continue the fantastic work you are doing! Two quick questions: Where did you get that quiver or did you make it? It looks Very interesting. And second, in "Untamed", where did you get that coffee mug with the deer head on it and does it come in a larger size? I have two little girls and go through A LOT of coffee and that's a fine looking mug! Again, please keep making movies that matter. Your message is being heard!

The quiver is made by Donnie Wilkerson at Creek Walker Trading and the mug was a gift from a friend. Not sure who made it.

Clay thank you for all your video work and your book, enjoyed it very much. Been shooting bows most of my life, I'm 65 and my Gramps made me limb bows when I was 5 or 6. tried a compound for a few years during the 80's but came back home to trad-bows, there is so much more information today than there was years ago due to folks like you giving of your time to help new comers to the sport. There's even things old dogs like me can learn and improve on thanks to folks like you.
I've taken some advice from this video that have helped to improve my shooting even though I never considered myself a bad shot but did suffer some from target panic like you've talked about and that requires changes to overcome sometimes.
Keep up the good work, I love your web page, between you, Brothers of the Bow, and Dave Peterson I keep my love for bowhunting and the mountain west fed.
