Kookin good...any way you can get a closer video...and how about an overhead?  Looks like ya got a tower handy....even if you have to shoot off your knees.

Terry, thanks here is an overhead view and a closer just shot a few minutes ago.

What I see: try to pull your elbow back a little more, bringing your string-hand shoulder more into alignment with your bow-hand shoulder.

It looks like you are also plucking during your release -- especially in the overhead video; in the first video, you seem to be opening your fingers, instead of just relaxing them (evident in that "Victory" sign you flash at release). You also seem to be "pushing" your hand into the string immediately before the release. It might help if you push into your cheek, instead; it would at least help to ensure that your hand does not stray during release.

Of course, any of the things I see in these videos may have been exaggerated by the shaky quality of the hand-held video. Perhaps the use of a tripod would be in order...

The preceeding is just an opinion, not to be taken as "written in stone".

Your looking very good .I would like to see a bit more bend in the bow arm to cushion the recoil.Your draw is smooth and you are anchoring .I only saw one release where you pulled your hand away .The other shots were very well there.Also Id like to see more cant in the bow.Wear your back quiver and learn to draw the arrow out of the quiver and onto the bow without looking.

Looks good. Try standing with your feet more inline with the target. Keep your bow arm straight and only cant as much as you need if it works for you. A bent bow arm can cause inconsistant draw lengths unless you have a clicker or draw check.

Thanks for the replies, I have been hitting what I am trying to most of the time, just tryin to weed out the little inconsistencies. I have been working on back tension, my anchor, and trying three under as well. I was trying this morning to get my shoulders lined up at full draw by trying to squeeze my shoulder blades together. This increased my draw to 30", and the string starts to touch my chest.Is that supposed to happen ?

[Terry Green]

I cant stop the video and capture a frame...but here's what I see......

Your shoulders are not perpendicular to the target, they are pointing left.  And, your power points, elbow and wrist are also on a plane left of the target....meaning, your elbow is not far enough back for proper alignment.

Now, not everyone will be able to get all 3 on a parallel line, arrow, power points and shoulders...but the arrow and shoulders are pretty easy no matter the structure of the body.

I'd suggest trying to get a bit more extension with the elbow coming back a bit more, you are really close now....but do get your shoulders more perpendicular than so far to the left.

That's my take anyway.

Yes I see your feet in the first video is not quite in line.The right foot should be directly behind the left.That in turn will make the string arm pull more and the shoulder swill be more in line .

I know these form vids come up quite a bit, so I'm really grateful for y'all taking the time to post your views.

Here's a still from another video I made this morning.This one looks better to me as far as extension.This is at 30" of draw.

One more item, from your last post (the still shot)... try to turn your head so you face more towards the target. It appears you are looking out of the corner of your eye. It might even help to bring your shoulders in line, too, just by turning your head a little bit.
