Effect of Torque (Side Khatra) Technique with Thumb Draw (Slow Motion)

Short video with my new slow motion camera, studying the effects of handle torque with the thumb draw. The techniques which result in movement of the bow hand upon release have the potential to improve arrow flight quality when properly executed. I hope to offer this as proof. In the first shot, the arrow flies very poorly. However, in the second shot there is torque deliberately added to the handle, twisting it subtly counterclockwise BEFORE letting go. As a result of this rotational energy pre-loaded into
