Good question and answers. I, being a newbie, have wondered the same thing. I do best when I " float" it in from a little low and left.
good luck

ive tried different methods and i find lowering it in from the top is easier than lifting it. I tend to jump up with the bow when im trying to lift it into the target.

From the bottom up.

I come from the bottom up. Like someothers have said here, I used to freeze up just below the intended target. The best cure I have found for this is to use a back tension release. I did not have near as big a problem shooting 3d targets or live deer, but I had a huge problem if I was shooting dots. Still to this day, I have problems hanging up under the dots, but have no problem with 3d or live deer.

I come up from the bottom....forces me to bend at the waist from the start.

Interesting,

I' ve tried both bottom up to top down, I' ve always used bottom up until a friend noticed I was fighting more then I should.

I reversed my method and noticed a major difference coming from the top down and letting it float into the target.

I also come from the top, down to my target.

3 step I shoot just like you, I did have to stop and think about it for a minute though, I had to visualize me shooting to figure out which way I came to the target, I do let it float as I wait on the release.

I must be wierd but I float right to left. I judge my distance and then choose which pin (or between which two) before I even draw. I am right handed and I feel it let' s me see more of the target before I place my pin.

I practice shooting really fast shots, just pull aim and let go. I think this increases my reaction time and I' ve actually gotten good at it. Then when I take an extra second or two it almost makes me feel like I' m taking my time. At the end of every session I also draw, hold for about 30-40 seconds and let go. I' ll admit, I miss a lot of those but it helps, if I' m tired and hold for a long time I' ve already practiced it.
