Video-tell me what I am doing wrong! (Or right?)

All I'll state is this-videos are fine, & instruction books are fine-to get the basics down. But every Trad shooter that I've shot with has developed his or her own style... some based on other shooting methods, & others "self-made."

Bottom line-keep it simple- do what YOU gotta do to put that arrow where you are looking-"analysis paralysis" is a terrible thing!

Hm.....just based on that short video. You dont look like you have a shot process or repeated constant steps. Because it look like you are just nocking and shooting. Until you develop your own process that you do without thinking about it, maybe saying it out loud or in your head the steps as you take them would get you into a flow. Also, you're not giving yourself time to recover after the shot, like the follow through is important too to give you time to feel the detail in your form. JMO, but take your time. Not sure if you're trying to make the video shorter, but you are shooting too fast to absorb the minute differences between each shoots.

But this might be blind leading blind advice haha.
 
Hard to tell with a limited angle. Few things:

The bow is so light in draw weight that you are pulling it back like a toy and from a low position. I'd suggest drawing with a straight arm with the arm somewhat higher and come down into it.

It doesn't seem like you are drawing back very far. My anchor (3 under) was index finger corner of mouth and V of thumb and index finger at corner of jaw.

You're not quite snap shooting but aren't holding very long at draw.

You're not pulling through the shot (your hand does not travel backwards at the release and in fact went forward on at least one shot).

I gave up the recurve around 7 years ago, but shot one for almost 20 years and was above average. Before pursuing how olympic archers and competitive barebow shooters shoot, I was stuck at 20 yards This is very common for folks that shoot in a Fred G. Asbell-ish style, they are able to shoot pretty well at 15 to 20 yards but not further.

Most, if not all, of my observations have been stated. A looser grip, much like a compound, is most effective for me on a recurve (in fact, I use an "Asbell" grip on my compound after learning traditional). Your release needs to follow through, as you're plucking and coming out away from your face (my procedure is to drag my finger along my cheek and end up with my thumb in the pocket of my shoulder. You are building your basics at this time, but most importantly, have fun! There's time to tune your arrows later...

If you read, I highly suggest G. Fred Asbell's "Instinctive Shooting" both I & II! I pulled a lot of information out of these two books.

I used to be deadly from 20 yards and in, and more than acceptable out to 30 yards. Then I ran into time issues/priorities and essentially gave it up as a hunting method until I can put the necessary time back into it...
 
I know a few folks already touched on this but the only major thing I noticed was back tension. That’s said, I think you will struggle to feel and engage your back muscles without a heavier pound bow. I think those that said keep shooting for now and don’t stress all the components of form right now have it right. Keep shooting everyday and continue to make adjustments. The bow and arrow will tell you when your form is off.

The next thing I would say is I would tune my practice arrows IF the flight was really bad. One thing that was super frustrating to me starting out was my form got better and better but I struggled to keep groupings. I was overlooking arrow flight and it was the cause of my inconsistencies. As you get to be a better shot and notice when you mess up form you will start to zero in on the arrow flight. Some bad flight can be caused by yourself, but some of it can be caused by wrong spine arrows. That’s something you will have to iron out at some point. If you’re a little over spined it’s easy enough to add heavier field points. If you’re under spined you may be out of luck without buying new arrows if you can’t cut them down some. What a fun journey! Happy shooting.
