Jeff,
     Just curious, what do you mean by achoring your bow arm? Are you not releasing until your bow arm is still?
If you mean still as in not a quiver, then no.   :bigsmyl:  

My bow arm reaches out for the target, steady and still (as possible).

Drew... shoot him in the butt once in a while...lol...
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

Yep, gotta chew on the left side or it throws the anchor way off!

My worst habit is NOT practicing! Just can't seem to find the time.

Let my bow arm move to the left, watch the arrow fly instead of picking a spot, I tinker with my set up but I'm not so sure that's a bad thing. Oh, and chocolate!

Dropping my bow arm.  It's frustrating how I can start doing it and not even realize it until a few bad arrows in.  :banghead:

Not getting my eye over the arrow---I just stop concentrating.

Missing the target.   :confused:   I hate looking for arrows.

Thinking too much, causing me to lower my focus on the target.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

Dropping my arm and looking for the arrow before it hits  :knothead:

Mine would have to be not picking a small enough spot and every once in awhile i dont get to full draw.

Looking at my arrow before the release.

Killdeer

1) Openly belching.

2) Spitting out gnats, instead of politely swallowing them.

When I get tired, my bow arm collapses inward, arrows go right.

I pluck like a ...maniac.

If I think too much about my release, anything can, and does, happen.

This is not really Killdeer, but her evil twin.   :cool:
Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.
