Chop horizontally with your NTH.

Holding the string between thumb and index on your throw hand might help. Could just be my imagination.

It’s easier if you keep everything slack free. I would use the term “keep the string tight”, but I’m afraid that would hurt more than help because you can over do it. Just make sure there’s no slack in the string. Also, try to land closer to your non throw hand.

Keep going, it will click in!
