I do have to say, from shooting Olympic recurve. We use Mediterranean draw, and are trained to "drop the bow" upon release. And I have brought that idea and a bit hav "Khatra" (I probably miss spelled that) into traditional shooting. It's natural tension held in your body and allowing it to move you is part of a shots follow through. You are almost never going to move faster than that arrow leaving your bow.
As a kid, one of my native american archery teachers, would hold a bowie knife under my bow arm as a drill to not drop my bow arm until the arrows hit my target.

Yes but the bow is dropped well after the shot has left the bow as I alluded to in the video.
stabilizer helps.
