What I have seen observing those who cant and hit what they shoot at you draw and anchor with your face and bow in the same alignment as when you are shooting vertical. You just tilt your upper body over so the bow, your face and shoulders are canted over. The only exception is when you are doing something like sitting on the ground where the bottom limb must be held off the ground. If you cant the bow but not your face you end up torquing the string.

Probably a dumb question, but I'll ask it anyways... How are you keeping the arrrow on the shelf with some of those cants?

That means you rotate your wrist out and hook farther around the string, and when you draw everything will rotate back, and you'll have pressure holding the arrow on the shelf.
Easier shown than told.

I had people help me along the way, and I sure enjoy helping others shoot better.

The angle your wife shot of you was just what I needed. I have done all my learning from one DVD "Masters of the Barebow" and two short books. I thought I had picked up quite a bit until I saw your video.
What I learned from you was holding the bow up into place before drawing. The people I mocked from the "Masters" DVD don't do that; they raise the bow as they draw. Also, some set then release while others draw and release more continuously like you.
When I tried to simulate you my shots and confidence improved immediately. Really helped my concentration.
After doing so, I watched "Masters" again and found that some of them raise while they draw, others raise into place first like you. Of course they are all good shots, but your style fit me the best.
Also, my wife can watch your video and then watch me from the same angle and critique me. Of course my confidence drops when she tells me I need to suck in my gut like you do, and I tell her you're not sucking, you just don't have one. Then she says, "whatever it takes, you just need to lose it if you're going to shoot like him". Then she says she wants to marry you and we get in a fight.
On second thought, maybe you should just keep your video to yourself.

Seriously, Terry, thanks for taking an interest in guys like us. I am looking forward to more if you do so.
