I have attached a link to a video of one of my shots at the Pre Spring Arrow Fling and would like feedback from some of the veteran shooters of Tradgang. I have only been shooting traditional for 5 months now after taking a 30 year training wheel sabbatical. Please provide me with feedback that will help me become a better shooter.

I am not qualified to evaluate form, but it looks like you are on the right track. The results of the shot were certainly acceptable. If this is posted on the Form forum, you may get better response. If moebow chimes in, take notes. His advice is gospel.
Getting a little "plucky" with that right hand. Try and release straight back to your right top of the shoulder. Or maintain a static position on your cheek weld. Try and maintain a "one thousand one" count on your bowarm...continuing your push to the target....to maintain follow through. Your getting close....
I played with the stop motion on my puter. I like how your bow arm came up a touch higher in the draw than your drawing arm. I did notice a very slight draw length loss in your holding time as you bore down on the aim. The arrow was well past the bow before your release hand came off of your face. You definitely had it aimed right. The slight draw loss came during your sighting, if that is what you need to do get it tight on the target, so be it. I would be concerned if the fly away of the release hand begins to happen in anticipation of the release, on this shot it did not.
Wrong forum, mod alert hit. Needs to be posted on the shooters forum.
I'd like to see your bow arm not drop away so fast and your release hand go straight back to the back of your jaw bone (not drop. Keeping all of those parts in line until well after the arrow has gone will improve your consistency.
If I could do that (hit the 11) every time I'd take it and run.
To best evaluate your form, you would need to provide a close-up (from the waist up) from the right hand side. Then an over the shoulder (from above) shot so we can see your alignment. I would also recommend shooting three to five arrows. It's easier to see your repeatable form (release hand and alignment) and get a better evaluation of what your form is consistently.
