my advice is to let the bow surprise you, you'll get to learn what that means. of course, don't hold your bow tight, just let it rest in the palm of your hand, and when you put your sights on the target, hold it there and release so slowly that you don't know when it is going to fire, so that is somewhat "surprises" you. this will minimize jerking the shot. and finally, you will naturally catch your bow after you shoot, it should fall a little because you shouldn't be holding it tight, the only this holding it up is the tension of the string and the bow pushing against the palm of your hand. just consentrate on the shot, not what happens after the shot,
