Honestly, I want to be able to snap shoot, I seem so much more consistent snap shooting.
The reason you may be shooting more consistant right now with snap shooting is because your bow arm is not fatiguing when shooting that style. It takes a long while do develope the muscles needed to hold the bow arm up and pointed at the target during the aiming process.

I also like you shoot better snap shooting after I have shot a bunch of arrows simple because I can not hold my bow arm up and steady long enough to take a careful aim.

Chad has made two very good points. One is snap shooting is very difficult to master. And two is accuracy will follow form. Really, it will.
Bob, I think your right. Snap shooting right now, I think I could shoot 300 arrows or more without noticable fatigue.

It seems so simple but have such trouble getting my timing right. I know I am too get my hand grib little high, cant my bow about 1:30 position, keep my elbow down not high, relax my thumb and pinky, push my shoulder out, take a 1sec look down the arrow, pull thru as my middle finger hits the corner of my mouth. It seems I forget one or two of these steps. I guess like a golf swing, (never did), saying how to do it and doing it is two different things.
