Your release is way too long.

Can't tell much about your feet but it looks like you are facing the target instead of being perpendicular to it.Get perpendicular first and then if you like an open stance,drop the front foot back about 6" or so and open it toward the target,JUST A LITTLE.

Everything looks good, you might want to shorten that draw length though, you might group better. You have problems w/ the string hitting your arm?

Nope never had my compound hit my arm. My recurve is a different story though.My groups are pretty tight I am really happy with my shooting right now. So other than my realease everything looks ok?

ONLY thing I noticed was the tension in his release hand....that would probably be resolved with the proper release length.

I learned something in here, today. I am slightly (very slightly) open when I set up. I see my target better, that way (rather than being perfectly perpendicular).

TFOX says it's OK! Yayy.
