Relax the front hand. Hold the bow with your index and middle finger barely touching the front, just to support the now after the shot. Once at full draw, slow steady squeeze on the trigger, maintaining the pull as you release. I just got the 2012 stinger 3G. I too am self taught but did pick the brain of the archery guys at the nearest bass pro shop.
Yep @brokentengue99. You sound just like my Marine Corps drill instructor that told me the same thing. I know it, now I need to do it. Thanks for the reminder.
tips.. okay on your grip to make sure you grip lose just use your bloodline on your thumb to hold it and make an okay sign with you rhand around the grip but just keep enough grip to keep it straight. also you can rest your nose on the string and run you r hand and release along your jaw line.. see if it helps. its what the pros do so i do it and it works for me but its just whatever makes you comfortable and accurate
Your draw length is too short, your string is suppose to be touching the tip of your nose. Bring is somewhere to get adjusted, just a tip to help you out and I bet you will feel more relaxed at full draw!!
One thing I noticed is with your right hand (hand holding the bow) you need to relax a little with it... you should have the top of your hand almost pointed upward with the thumb bone area of your palm on the grip (sorry can't think of how to better describe it). You only need to hold the front of the grip with maybe 2 fingers to support the bow after shooting the arrow. This will help solve your issue with the string slapping your arm and also less torque on the bow.
I just recently got this bow for my birthday and I haven't been able to shoot it but this video just made me want to go shoot it so bad

Try drawing your bow from the ground up in urban areas in case of early arrow release. Just as you I'm a self taught shooter.

@pattersonassoc
Also , with your release , " squeeze " it , don't " slap " it with your finger . You'll find that your accuracy will improve as well .
Good shootin' .
