This wouldn't be a bad one to learn from.......
It looks like he is dropping his bow arm alot. Is that pretty normal. Also I took a look at alot of those guys shooting and alot seems to be gripping the bow real tight. Is that normal for longbow/recurve? I was shooting tonight open handed like I do compound. After the shot the bow bounces some. I think my arrows I am using is too light.

What about the release. Some guys shoot with all three finger under the arrow and some with the index on top of the arrow. I have always shot recurves with the index on top. But I have a bad habit of pinching the arrow and it wanting to come off the shelf.

One thing I did learn off those videos is they do alot of mental prep before the shot and then snap shoot.

Makes total sense Arthur.I appreciate posts guys.
