Make sure you break your elbow some. Your arm I would say is to straight and locked. That might be part of your problem!

Actually Jack, with the right grip, you can LOCK your arm out and still be "safe," but I agree a slight break is certainly beneficial.
That's what I was going to say. Although I don't LOCK my elbow I do shoot with a straight arm just to be sure I have all the arm bones in alignment. Don't have to tire out the muscles as much that way.
Good information about the grip, too. I don't even like the term "grip" ot "hold your bow" because if you are doing either during the shot then you aren't doing it right.
There are a lot of good tutorials over on www,huntersfriend.com, too.
