Another tool in our modern box.   Use youtube.   Video yourself shooting.   Dont need to see the target.    Just you.  All four angles.    A few arrows from each perspective.   Shoot like you do......dont change snything for camera.   

Close view from hips to top of head or bow limb would be good.   

Im sure we could make some progress from ther.   Id be happy to look....just link your vid here

JustJake:
Thanks for the responses.

I shoot my grandpa's Ben Pearson 58" bow with 55# draw weight and 28" draw length.  I use 100gr field points and broadheads.  I tried the two blade broad heads, but have better results with the three blade type.  I use the leather fingers with my index finger above and my middle and ring finger below.  I always place the knuckle of my bent thumb in the pocket behind my earlobe.
    As for the deer or target question it is both.  Although really just the target as I have not actually hunted for the last several seasons.  Nothing is worse than wounding an animal and I have not had the confidence in my shooting ability to head out into the woods.  Actually, after typing that I thought about it and when I've missed deer it was both above and below.  Favoring the above though.
    Thanks for the offer of studying film, but I'm afraid that's a little beyond me.  (And I would need a camera.)
Again, thank you for the feed back, and the encouragement.

Jake

armymedic.2:
Fair enough.
   Ever played with changing your anchor point?   Might be worth trying sticking your middle finger tip in the corner of your mouth.  Puts the nock right under your nose every time without thinking about it.

Another good training aid is a clicker......makes sure you hit full draw every time instead of shott drawing for some shits and not for others.    When you do it right every time take the clicker off and go hunt!

JustJake:
Actually, I read a couple of other threads last night and saw several mentions of fingers in the corner of the mouth.  I just got done trying that and it might hold some promise.  Hard to tell after one try though.  I caught myself reverting back to my original anchor several times.

armymedic.2:
Just takes repitition.  Not a cure all but the simple act of concentrating on a new anchor can make othe changes in your form that might help without even realizing it.

Dont overlook the clicker either.    I have seen a few people be helped by them.
