That may be part of the problem. I've been using the tension in my release arm to hold the bow up, while letting the bow rest against the V between the thumb and finger as opposed to actually gripping the bow. I thought this would reduce the torque since I wasn't gripping hard before the shot, but I may be anticipating and really bearing down on it as the arrow is released. That may also have me dipping my arm during the shot, because I'm essentially catching the bow once the release is no longer helping hold the bow in position. I'll check when I practice this afternoon. Thanks!
