Title: Been shooting for 5 days now...How's my form? [Now with video!]

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).

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.

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!
