I was grouping like 3 inches from a dot normally and last night i was grouping 1.5 from center with every shot at 15 yards. For me that is a major improvement. I just hope i can do it tonight when I practice.

If you don't mind me asking what is your triangle mean. I'm learning all this all by myself. I got all excited this weekend cause I cut my grouping size down by lightening up on my pointer finger. Apparently you don't pinch the nock between your fingers. Who knew? LOL I could definitely use some "professional" help. Somebody had posted to release with the third finger and that really helps when I remember. Trying to get ready for taking a moose this year.
iowabow:
Look at my sons arms they form a triangle. As he pulls the bow they start to line up and this requires back tension. I did not use great back tension and this left me with an angle that caused me to correct with my left arm. When the arrow released the tension in my left arm would move the bow. So getting it right makes it bone on bone. Hope that helps. Also now i can see that at times i pluck the string. I was not grouping good enough before to notice i was doing that.

That makes sense. I've noticed that a lot of times the string hits my arm when I release so I've been trying to figure out the correct way. I'll try to concentrate more on the triangle. Thanks.
I see a lot of terminology that makes sense to situations I experience when I stop to think about it. The triangle makes sense. I have noticed that when the string doesn't hit my arm and the draw feels easier I'm much more accurate.
People at work are gonna be laughing at me making a triangle with my ghost bow!
iowabow:
I want to be clear you do not want the triangle.
