Been trying to work on my form lately. It's been a long time since I have. I set up a target in my living room so it's easy to take a few shots here and there without having to go to the basement or outside. Let me know what you guys think.

I would say it seems to be good, how is you accuracy outside ? If anything I would say hold a little longer, unless you are getting good accuracy outside, on a consistent basis at various distance targets.

Sometimes I hold longer, doesn't seem to make a lot of difference in accuracy. My accuracy has always been pretty darn good although since I've been working on my form the last few days, I have not been outside to check

Look's pretty good. second video it look's like bow is pulling left on release? Are you gripping bow too tight?

I just reviewed the video. I see what you mean. I hold the bow loosely but I may be moving my wrist/arm. I will pay attention to that when I get home and shoot a little

Did some experimenting and it seems I was not holding the bow too tight but rather had too much hand on the bow. I changed my grip slightly and it seems to have made the bow jump more forward.
