Shooting practice.

(1/4) > >>

mspink:
I am in training in the air force and have little time to shoot my bows I've made. I am pretty good w them most of the time but I don't get nearly as much practice as I want to. I was wondering if there was something I could do to improve my skills  with the minimal time I have to practice.. Any pointers would be appreciated. I am good enough to put four or five arrows into a paper plate at around twenty yards but want to be able to group tighter.

Pappy:
That sound pretty good to me. ;) :) I would suggest when you practice ,don't try to see how many arrows you can send down range,just work on making every shot count.I don't get a lot of time to shoot either,so I try and take advandage of what practice I get. :)

I agree with Pappy. Putting one arrow where you want it to go is more important that tight groups to me. I used to shoot 50 to 100 arrows a day. With that many shots I found myself getting sloppy so now I shoot maybe a dozen arrows each session, concentrating on each arrow. This can be done in about 5 minutes.
  I keep my regular bow and arrows where ther are visable. When I come in I grab them go outside take my shots and that is it. If I find myself shooting soppily I stop shooting until the next session.

Wolf Watcher:
Hawk Huston taught me to concentrate on my form (was sloppy with my left arm) and to aim at a very small target.  So I have some 3/4" bright stick ons that I use and it really helped me.  I have some wide rubber bands from my knee surgery and I use them for strength.  Now I wish I could shoot like the Hustons!  Joe

   I only shoot one arrow  and aim small,concenate.
