Work on consistency, like Wahya said. Get just far enough away from the target that your arrows will clear the riser safely (a bag target is good for this). Concentrate on your anchor, release, bow cant, etc.

As for the locked elbow, I don't do that either. Go with what works best for you, regardless of what the "experts" say. There are some basics that apply pretty much to everyone (pick a spot, consistent form, etc.) but there is no one shooting style that is perfect for everyone. Be patient and it will come to you.
