Group size was better overall after dropping one shot. Need to use this as a start to blueprinting my shot.

Outside slinging arrows is the only way to learn and improve. 👍👍 Not bad for I’m assuming 20 yards? Dead meat on anything anyway. That grouping will take you to 30 easily. Just saying- it appears you aren’t actually punching or slapping the trigger but you’re commanding the break? I don’t want to read like a know it all but I’ve been into archery for over 60 years and learned what can be so helpful to be a better shooter. Your hand isn’t relaxed with those fingers sticking straight out. Causes unnecessary tension. Try relaxing that hand and locking that index finger solid then pulling straight back. Maybe do practice at like 10 feet blank bailing. Put the target up level with your drawn bow and have black paper on the target or cover your scope so you can’t be aiming. The idea of this practice is get get your release execution to be smooth, highly polished AND basically a surprise. I like my finger hooked very deeply over the trigger to the inside joint. Mine is set with zero trigger travel and enough tension so I don’t need to worry or even think it will fire as I set my finger on it. Takes very very little backward travel but quite a bit of energy/ trigger pressure to break the shot. The blank bailing will benefit you more in the long run than target practice in the yard. Just some things I’ve learned that really helped me years ago. Yes, I was a puncher, then tried command shooting and now I never do either- just pull is my favorite way. Keep up with shooting and GOOD Luck!

There's thousands of videos, forums and article's on how to use a release aid, i really recommend you watch a few because you are punching the shit out of that index finger release, when I first started watching i thought it was another video on how not to use a release aid
