Arthur....That was exactly how I was when I started. It may have just been because I was scared of the release or something, but my whole arm would jump and I would miss the bullseye by more than a foot and a half, and sometimes the whole target itself. I used to pull the trigger really slow and I was anticipating the shot, like you said, and literally a millionth of a second before the shot I jerked. I finally lighted it up, and stopped thinking about when the bow was gonna go off. After about a month of regular shooting, I dont think Ive jerked one shot since.
