nice form.  You should post this on the Shooters forum.

I agree, nice form. I was looking at three things:

1. Do you get to and hold anchor? Yep.

2. Do you follow-through with the drawing hand to or beyond the ear? Yep. (I like to end with the drawing hand thumb on or  near the shoulder (Slide under the ear, painting your face, thumb to the shoulder).

3. Do you resist creeping? Yep

I could not tell from the broadside angle if your bow arm properly follows through by slightly dropping and going to the left side. It is a myth that the bow arm should remain still and up until the arrow hits. That promotes collapse.

I could not tell what was going on in your mind. Hopefully, focused on the "end of the shot"  such as paint the face (follow-through).

You'll get a lot more input (but you don't need much) over on the shooter's forum.
