I have read the posts about the "clock" and it has been helpful. I have read Fergusen's book and it has been helpful. I am trying to figure how to keep my bow arm unlocked and pushing at the point of aim. Is it straight but not locked? Is it bent slightly. I cann't figure this out. I know when I get a bullseye everything feels good but then my brain becomes engaged trying to duplicate it and the wheels fall off. Thank you

You'll get lots of answers to this one.  I like a straight but not locked bow arm, others like it to be locked.  Which ever works for you.  I would suggest though that you think "press" the bow shoulder towards the target and not "push" the whole bow arm.  See if that idea works for you.

Are you willing to give up what you are; to become what you could be?

That is what I am issues with. I can't figure out how push a straight arm. I worry about inconsistant draw when I bend my arm. I need to have a lever where I can disconnect my brain (the weakest link) and just let 'er fly. Thank you
