When I watched your first video I thought you were not getting full expansion.  I stopped it in several places to make sure.  Your second video proved me wrong.  I wish I could get my form to be as consistent as yours.  You shoot much quicker than I, but you seem to in complete control. You look very good to me.

Thanks for the feedback. After watching this I decided that my next step is to try and slow down more. That's the next small step in this process. I saw on recent Rick Welch student videos that he makes them hold for 2-3 seconds.

I've been waiting for you to mention, Rick. Now that I know you're open to his methods.I would suggest Rick's Volume 2. You do have good form, just need to slow down & hold for 2 seconds. Here are a couple links for you.

gables....you may or may not need to hold...or slow down.  That will be ultimately up to you to decide. Some folks are better at snap shooting, and others are better at holding.  Find what method works for you.  If shooting quick like in your clip works for you, stick with it, if it don't then slow down and 'hold' if need be.  Just make sure you learn how to 'hold' correctly.

What you do not want to happen is for you to stop pulling completely and come to a dead stop.  You want to continue to apply rearward pressure so you don't start creeping forward and loose that back tension that you have already acquired.

And to be more versatile, you should be able to shoot both ways....but get your back yard shot down either way and go from there.

Ya know , If you had a bow built to your draw you produce a even better shot. If that bow is 28 draw, you look like ur pulling more than that!! hope that makes sence...Form look good , I think that bow is stacking a little on ya ??? heck maybe Im wrong..good luck .. :)  mark
