In fact, I highly discourage all shooters, especially new ones from putting so much stabilizer up front they need to catch a bow. I have seen it so many times start horrible gripping and torquing.

Followthru is push and pull. When you release, you should be pulling thru the shot. If you find your gripping the release and your hand is beside your face after the shot, your not following thru. If you hand goes back behind your ear straight back, thats follow thru. The shot should be sorta surprising. The bow arm should be dead solid, not flailing around or the bow pushed left or right. The bow should be left to do what it wants after the shot.
