Looking good my man!

I think as you keep practicing...that release is going to get better as you wont 'anticipate' it...as it looks like you still are a bit.  That can also be cause by you knowing you are being filmed.    :D

Stay after it sir!

I sure like the rock solid bow arm. I don't have enough experience to see alot of mistakes. Each release does seem to be a little different. I think I liked the first video the best because it looked like your hand came straight back and down. It looked like a nice relaxed release. How are you shooting?

All in all...looking pretty good!

You might wanna consider aligning the right eye over centered with your midsection at draw..as thats where your moving to on release...which is a good place to be!

Thanks for the advice everybody.At 20 yards I can group my arrows in a 6 inch circle consistantly.I find whenever I shoot out in the bush my groups go down to about 2 to 3 inches.Has anyone noticed this?I think its because you relax more.

I think we are all far more critical of ourselves when we practice which makes us do even worse. When we relax and have fun it all seems to come together.
