still can't hit much -- how is my form

(1/7) > >>

My arrows hit right where I am looking--if I look at the broad side of a barn.  Can you see anything in my form that might explain it?  Here is a video with 15 shots from the side and the rear.  I try to inhale as I draw, and exhale on the release.  video should play if you take the spaces out.

I can't get your link to work. Generally youtube  links are acceptable here so post it directly.

jeffp51:
Try it now

Pat B:
Jeff, your form looks pretty good. Is your release smooth? Are you looking at the target or just a spot on the target where the arrow will go. Picking a spot and concentrating on that makes the arrow go there. Looking at the target you'll hit the target but not necessarily the spot.

jeffp51:
I concentrate on the smallest point I can see. My hand usually stays on my face when I release. If I shoot 5 arrows, one usually goes wide of the target, one is close to my aiming point, and the other three hit my 2-foot target somewhere. I miss left more than I miss right.
