need help from you pros

Maybe having an index will help combine all of the ideas posted so far. What I mean is that making sure that I come to full draw will develop an instinctive form so in the future it would not be necessary to have an index. Maybe my issue is not being consistant with each draw. So I am going to just try a piece of tape around the arrow as a temporay index to be removed once the form is cleaned up. Also my camera will have something I see to make it possible to self evaluate. I will take a couple videos an post that as I go so you guys can help with the form if you like. Based on what I have read so far I may have a couple things going wrong.

When My shooting goes astray it's always one thing,..Bowarm
get that bowarm rock solid and keep pushing totarwd the target even after the shot and everything will be alright ;) ;)
To much overthinking in instintive shooting isn't good, it's supposed to be fluid and simple
crooketarrow:
YOUR RIGHTTTTTTTTTTT NOMADIC IF YOUR THINKING ABOUT IT YOUR NOT SHOOTING INSTINTIVE.
dbb:
To get to the point where you shoot truly instinktive you vill need to practice...a lot!
And if that training is faulty you never be good at it.
So thinking and correcting problems and be open to advice until you feel secure will make you a better archer.
THEN you can stop thinking and just let the shaft fly ;)

Ok so it is like learning to walk, ride a bike, or tie shoes type of thing. Do it right, repeat, and it becomes an automatic process. Just like riding a bike now if I think too much about why it works I might just drive off the road.
I know I am getting much better with practice and I seem to be improving with good form. At this point I am just trying to close my group to a very small diameter. I shot for hours in denver with a coach and never shoot outside of a paper plate size target. I just want to develop the correct form and muscles so I can do my best. The archery coach in Denver said I was not keeping my bow shoulder down and was shooting with it up. He was right and so now I am trying to relearn my bow arm. Seems when I do it right I can drop two arrows next to each other but when it goes bad it is not good with impacts 5 inches from center.
