[JTeLarkin08]

Here are 3 videos of me shooting. In the second video second shot is what happens alot. I get stuck right b4 my anchor and don't shoot good. It's not that I can't pull it it's mental. But just tell me what you guys think.

I'm a novice at best but it almost looks like you're drawing the string "around" your face and then trying to find your anchor instead of drawing straight back to your anchor position.

I only watched the first video, but it appears your right elbow is not in line with your shoulders and bow arm....plucking the string.

If you have a chance, watch the first couple DVDs of Masters of the Bare Bow. It's easy to self diagnose at that point.

my personal opinion about traditional archery is that ppl find there own way of doing it, the way that works best for them. But the main points i talk about with beggining or just ppl shooting trad. archery is number 1 good back tension, good back tension leads to less pressure on your bow arm and your hand you are releasing with which in turn gives you a great release. speaking of release thats prolly number 2 for me that i mention but like i said all comes with good back tension. with those 2 things in mind it is finding a good anchor that you are comfortable with not your buddy not the best shooters what really feels good to you, saying this tho i would prolly recommend for you trying a double anchor point it will just give you more confidence in yourself and your shooting which confidence is very important in traditional archery. And in your case you look like you are not real confident in your anchor and are starting to pluck the string at times. I could talk about this all day but keeping trad. archery simple is the most important to me as well so to sum up what i think, which is completely my opinion.
1. good back tension, releasing tension from other places
2. trying a double anchor
