Anchor and Release

How many of you are like me and when you hit your anchor point, (mine is middle finger in the corner of the mouth) immediately release?
I have not had any luck with a static release or holding for a while. I seem to creep up when I hold or draw. I also get a better release when I pick a spot, draw, anchor and release. Ken

Ken i don't hold either draw pick a spot and let it go i shoot tighter groups especially at longer ranges!
with my saluki longbow i can shoot 4 to 5" groups at 20 yds consistantly snap shooting,with my first arrow yesterday at 42 yds i drilled the kill zone!
i too have trouble getting off the string after holding and shoot left i know from not pulling thru the shot no apologies here i shoot quick lol

I pick my spot, draw and hold the anchor for 2 maybe 3 seconds before releasing. I find after shooting alot I do have a tendcy to creep forward slightly.

I pick a spot, then when I hit anchor I concentrate on my spot for 2 to 3 seconds, I then slowly complete expansion drawing another 1/2 to 3/4 inch and that triggers my realese, I had very bad target panic for 20 some years, and shooting like that cured me, I am very accurate with this shooting style, I'd say 8 inches @ 25 yards, I shoot 3 under, and have been shooting in this manner for about 6 months, I started by blind bail shooting in my basement over the winter. I learned most of what helped me after finding this site last fall, it has been a real God send! It is great fun once again to be able to shoot without target panic!

Draw, anchor and release is pretty much all one motion for me. I anchor the middle finger in the corner of my mouth. I release as soon as I get to anchor.

All one motion fairly quick like a snap shot or slow snap shots works to about 20 yd. for me, but after that I do more of a very slow draw, anchor short of full draw, and then expand for the shot. I never really stop, but just make the last part very very slow and about 2-3 seconds. If I stop and try to start again for the shot I tend to be inconsistent on release follow-through.

It seems like my anchoring and releasing time is directly proportionate to how far away the target is. It is not the case on every shot, but for a large majority. I just know if I try to force it and shoot fast, I generally miss.
