I feel i have good back tension, and always thought I tried to pull through my release. But after watching myself, I saw that my hand does go back but it also flings out to the side. So i was wondering if i needed to extend more. I feel like I have good tension now, shoulder blades tight etc.

Phillyman,  Good shoting.  You look to be letting your anchor sink forward a little.  That is, you're pulling past your anchor a little then letting your string hand slide forward on your face alittle.  That action causes you to loose back tension and causes the slight flip of the string hand on release.  Try to "de-emphasize" the anchor and pull though.  That slight change of direction you notice watching youself is the culpret.

That would be " good shooting."  I hate when that happens.  :knothead:

Thanks a lot for the replys, I took a look again at my vid and did another closer up and did notice the sliding forward of my string hand.

Shot some more today and really focused on not overdrawing and drastically improved my consistancy. I did notice that I have a habit of settling into my anchor. which causes the slight collaspe

Sounds like you have an "anchorage" issue.
