Ok, there's quite a bit of upper body movement during the draw but how's the release? I was doing a lot of blank shooting earlier and this release came along slowly. Clean enough?

hmm. looks good to me. Though, if my mentor were the one commenting, he'd ask you to clear your fingers from the string faster. more back tension. Like if you have the privillege to watch korean archers shoot,

yun mi jin, one of my favourite korean archers... you see the follow through finish just as the bow begins to swing. Pity this vid doesn't have a front view of her form, then we can see her fingers and a bit more detail.

but anyway, other than that, your release looks all right :D

cheers

Actually the target's less than 2 metres in front me. :-D

It's bad on the arrows I know because it's quite possible to robinhood. I shot 3 shots without aiming consciously and they ended up in the same exact hole. Ouchie.
