Dennis, I am probably the least qualified to comment on your form.  But one thing i did notice is after you hold your bow for a few seconds you began to shake a little.  I think holding a little less or shooting a little lighter bow would help(obviously).  

I can only assume that the shaking is not good for accuracy.

But its end is the way of death."  Proverbs 14:12

Daniel,

Thanks. You're right on the mark. Ive been working on going through my release cycle more quickly. I'm holding too long for sure.

Hi,

New to the form.

I agree with Daniel about the shaking at full draw, but i would not suggest shortening your full draw holding time. most thrown shots are from not holding long enough and not really settling in to your anchor. I use to shoot a 55# recurve when I first switched over from the dark side, I had the exact same problem and when I dropped bow weight to 40# my form and accuracy increased greatly. Try a lighter bow and see what happens. just my 2 cents.
Vegetarians are cool, I eat them with every meal!
