I believe I was locking my elbow out, maybe arms knows some drill so I can keep my alignment.

Kyle,
I think the bow arm should be totally relaxed and feel like a 2X4 beam that is brace between your shoulder (down and back) and the bow hand grip.  Don't push, flex, just a beam.  Think about how you are when standing on your feet.  The bones in your legs are just straight and muscle use is minimal.

Do NOT lock the elbow, just straight.
