Another cause is not going deep enough with the finger placement of the string. Some archers hold the string on the tips of the fingers believing this leads to a cleaner release, in fact it's the opposite.
True, also the elbow could be too high, causing the fingers to be at an angle on the string. This tends to cause problems in the "Ring finger"
