accuracy is okay in my eyes, could be better, sure, but im still in the learning phase, so im happy with hitting 80% of my 3d targets so far
i group worse compared to my recurve, but i cant aim with the thumb style, so that is all just feeling, no system
I'm sure you can figure out some way to aim. If nothing else your brain will start calculating where to hold to hit the target.
Traditional shooters here call it "instinctive shooting". It's just a matter of lots and lots of practice. Good luck. 
The arrow will be your biggest critic is it flying straight, is it making excessive noise on the riser, when it hits the target is it nock left or right, those are the best or worst indicators of your form. A good prctice is to shoot fletchless arrows at about 10-12 meters away this will show how good your form (release etc) is because the arrow does not have the fletch to stabilize flight and the short range does not allow for the arrow to recover from a sub par release.
at a 3d tournament this weekend, got a kyudo shaft to draw to maximum
drawweigt should be more than 70# now,
WB, how long are those Kyudo shafts that you used? The limbs are almost or at parallel - nice looking bow 
WB, the chap besides you look terrified! He probably thought that the limbs might came apart!
they should be around 36,5 inch
i only look a bit exausted, becouse of the, i guess 80# at that draw lenght
yeah, my friend seems to be a bit afraid, just though u may like the picture
WB, the arrow should be much faster than if you drew to 32".
Do you have photos of the Kyudo arrows?
havent shot the arrows, the seems pretty soft to me, he usses them on a 14kg yumi, to risky for me
WB, you need very stiff bamboo shafts at that length of draw .
got some other thumb bows

feel free to moan :-)
From the clip, I can tell that you just wanna try a couple shorts with Yumi.
If you feel good with it, you should get a proper training and enjoy the art.

another fun vid
shortend the arrows a little to get the right spine with the 250grain field points + 60grain inserts
12.5gpp and around 185 fps
Warbeast, great vids! You could use an arrow guide to overdraw .
+1
yeah, i could, but this draw lenght feels fine for me,
sometime i pull everything i got to show guys what this type of bow can do, but with that draw lenght and weight, it feels just right for me
but someday, i will make a vid, with 35inches draw and 10 inches arrow just for you :-)

just some quick stuff
this sunny day was just to god not to shoot

I use to shoot like you, Warbeast. It 's ok as long as the shots are consistent. But my master doesn't like the way bow hand drop too fast. He explained that the follow through reflects not enough pushing on bow hand (or pushing to the wrong direction or using the wrong muscle).
ah okay, i get what you mean,
seen it sometime in videos, but never though about it
will consider it in my next training sessions, thx alot
edit: tested it today in training, a bit new, but one i got the hang of it, wow, feels good,
