Ryan Jacob:
Sleek
I guess I’m a little paranoid, snap is a scary word :o
Del the cat:
Looks smooth in that video.
Your draw is very much pulling straight back brute force.
With a long draw heavy bow it can help to draw pulling your right hand high as if wiping your forehead, what happens then is that for the last say 4" of draw your right elbow travels back and down in a looooong arc of about 12" effectively giving you 3:1 leverage.
It's a bit like those over centre catches...

Thanks for the tip Del, I'll work on it!
FilipT:
So in the beginning of pull you put the elbow high and then in naturally comes down when you are near anchor point. Makes sense as I just practiced this movement.
Interestingly, when watching youtube videos of various archers one can notice that they usually put elbow down from the beginning. I might say I am also guilty of that, but I never pulled above 70#.
