I know we have corresponded on this subject before Ian but as a keen warbow enthusiast I believe you must have read Ascham on the subject, he also found it rather amusing.
"Another I saw which, at every shot, after the loose, lifted up his right leg so far that he was ever in jeopardy of falling. Some stamp forward some leap backward. All these faults be either in the drawing, or at the loose; with many other mo, which you may easily perceive, and so go about to avoid them"

Having said warbow, how much weight is given?..
I shoot 110 very simple .. no tension at a target from 50 yards ..
I am not a supporter of a long shot, but I hope I can say fairly even with conditioning shooting 130-140..
I am heavy men - 190cm.

Haha here we go. The dancing, hopping, getting jiggy with it, whatever you want to call it is just a natural reaction to the effort that's been put in to attain the maximum distance look closer at the other video and you'll the bloke is nowhere near full draw. When I shoot for accuracy I remain static too. What I would like to see is all of the people on this forum posting videos of themselves shooting heavy bows at full draw. All the ballerina stuff might be crap according to Mr A but what the hell I'm enjoying myself.
