And the continuedforward motion of your bow arm/hand.

It should be a complete process.

Look at itas ifyou're pushing/pulling your bow apart. That bow arm should have steady pressure pushing outward (without locking your elbow)while your release arm/hand should have steady pressure pulling backward.

When you release that pressure should still be enough to pull your release arm backward and your bow arm forward.

A lot of archers tend to drop their bow arm directly after the shot. This is something you want to try and avoid.
