Shot cycle

I went shooting for the first time in over a month today, as my back is feeling pretty serviceable, and I missed it. Shot pretty well; it occurred to me my shot cycle was far too long (on the order of 10+ seconds); I was starting out with the bow arm too high, and I was losing the rhythm of the shot getting the sight into the middle of the target. I concentrated starting with the bowarm lower and concentrating on the expansion, and it appears to work - groups tightened, and my shot timing became more consistent.
