This is just a short video on NBA.com in which Ray Allen offers a few pointers on good shooting style and suggests some good drills for practicing your shot. It's in the Overtime section of NBA TV Broadband. It's pretty good. I hope it helps.
There's another similar video about passing taught by Steve Nash, just Search Videos to find it.

Also You should practise the proper technique and not just practise alot remeber Practise doesn't make perfect (Ala LeBron & Marion), Perfect practise makes perfect (Ray Allen). You could use what I was taught I use what's called BEEF.
B - Balance. Your whole body, including feet, should always be balanced when you shoot. Otherwise, your going to learn to shoot off-balance and that's wrong. The more balance you get, the better shooter you will become in all situations.
E - Eyes. Look at the rim. You can pick and choose whether you want to focus on the front of the rim or the back of the rim, it's a personal choice. I tend to look at the front of the rim so i just get a nice, easy arc on my shot for the ball to go in.
E - Elbow. Your elbow must be at a 90 degree angle every time you shoot the ball. The biggest concern with young players these days is that they tend to let their elbow wonder a bit. Try and keep your elbow in as many times as you can and i assure you that your shot will be more accurate than others who's elbow sticks out.
F - Follow-through. Before you release the ball, make sure your balanced and your knees are bent. Shooting flat footed or off-balanced is the wrong way to shoot. Bend your knees, raise up and "snap" your wrist when releasing the ball. Where your middle finger points, that's usually where the ball will go. Also, make sure you release the ball on the way up, not on the way down. Otherwise the result of your shot will be pretty ugly.
This is alot to take in, i know, but it's worth the effort if you set your mind to it. If you want to import this way of shooting into your game, I suggest you start close to the basket, then gradually work your way out to the 3-point line. Maybe every now and then take friend with you to the courts and have him/her put a hand up as a defender. Not to try and block it, but just to help you get used to shooting with a hand in your face.
