A lot of it has to do with your alignment...your bow arm and drawing elbow are both dropping it looks like, and your energy is not going directly toward and away from the target.

Look up at the top of the list of threads on this forum and you'll see member form videos...read those and you'll learn more about alignment.

What Terry said and you just seem to be haphazardly flinging arrows. Doesn't seem to be any consistency in your form. Slow down,and concentrate on every shot. Don't just nock it and let it rip.

And you need to make the first one the best one, not "always the worse one"

 Work on your form and keep us updated on your progress...good luck

Hmmm. To me it looks like your not even aiming at the target but to the right of it .Not wearing a glove either.I dont know about this one.

alright imma make you guys a promise that wont be a problem for me to keep, if I can get a ride to the range this weekend, I'll show you guys what I can do when I take my time and focuse, cant do it now because I wore out the center face completley  from my target.  And I know it sounds wierd but I'm a much better shooter when i shoot barefinger, I just dont like the feel of gloves or tabs.

That's what we're trying to tell you...you should always "take your time and focus"...otherwise you're just flingin' arrows.

If you're not looking for help with some constructive criticism....what are you looking to prove with this thread?  Are you just trying to prove how good you shoot?

Barefingered and no Arm guard either. That aint gonna work when theres clothes on you if your hunting .Dont know why your cock feather is not perpendicular to the bow.Are those arrows made for clearing compound cables? Give us a side view of your shooting next time.

I Used to suffer from the  "Bow Arm Drop Syndrome" myself. I was  Peeking  to see the Arrow Fly!! Dont Drop the Arm Until It Hits, when You  HEAR  it Hit. Took Me a Little Practice, and Several Times, My Arm was Fighting My "Pea-Brain".  :rolleyes:  
It Doesnt "Sound" Like a "Terrible Form Problem" but it can sure Ruin the Shot!!
  Good Luck To You Sir!  :thumbsup:    :archer:

You are muscling the bow as you have both shoulders and arms above your shoulder plane, and not aligned on bone structure....and here's what's happening.....
