They aren't the best pics (from a phone) but you get the idea. On one of them I got distracted while he was taking the photo so I'm kind of looking up, not at the target. The other was aiming at the 30yd target..but I blinked   :p  . Also, a pic of my best group so far (with mismatched arrows...my new arrows are on their way from 3 Rivers, though).

     

     

     


EDIT: Video

Looking REALLY hood for just 5 days!!!!  Keep at it.

As you shoot for now, try to get your feet a little farther apart, that will give you a little more stability in your stance.  And work on that bow shoulder a little.  You are letting it "ride up" a little too much,  Think "down and back" for that shoulder.

Don't stress over either of the above recommendations, just be aware of them.

Are you willing to give up what you are; to become what you could be?

I would say you are way ahead of the curve so far! Your alignment looks really good to me and for only 5 days its pretty much remarkable!  Everyone knows that all the really good archers are females! I'd say you could easily be one of them as well!
