thanks guys!  I'll try all those things.

@crooketarrow 40 bucks and 15 gobblers?!  that's amazing!  I'd be so happy to get one little doe with my selfbow.  ;)  Maybe this year... 
Thanks,

Still working on it.  Came pretty close last year.  Hopefully this will be the year of my first selfbow deer kill.  Luckily satisfaction is proportional to effort exerted.  ;)

  You want to hit that 250 mark. I can tell you what will cut you group size by inchs.

  Everything looked ok in your vidio so try my little trick. Well it really is'nt mine A guy by the name HOWARD HILL used it. When you release ,touch ankor release the third finger down first. You can't stop the next 2 fingers for follow suit.

 This way you get the same crisp release everytime.  When I can feel the burn in my third finger I know I'm releaseing the right way. I started useing this release with long bows and recurves back before self bows.

  I works and works everytime. Try it. It's helped me kill 40 bucks and 15 gobblers. In 23 years ofshooting and hunting with my own selfbows.

That's a good tip. I am definitely going to try that. Thanks!

Your form looks good.  The only thing I would add that you draw and then kind of settle into your anchor point.  There is a lot of small movements that are leading to a long draw time.  You may want to experiment with coming straight back to an anchor point that to don’t have to "settle into" like your current form.  I may help reduce some inconsistencies but it is only a minor issue.  Less movement usually equals more consistancy.
