This is the timing I try to shoot at with minimal pauses inbetween each arrow, just a feeling of calm and comfortable shooting.
My best scores seem to occur when the body and mind mechanics work well together without actually thinking about them. This when it does happen enables good archery scores.

Spending a lifetime over each shot IMHO can easily become almost a paralysis, often made worse by over analysis.
Good archers from what I've seen so far, appear to make it all look very fluid and natural, which is obviously after years of preperation and practice with purpose. Emulating the good bits (good timing) minimising the bad bits is what we stive to do each time we shoot.
