Tsalagi:
Best non-archery practice for archery is a shotgun. Shoot some skeet, or some rolling targets with a shotgun. The principle is the same, because you don't aim a shotgun. Make sure it's a shotgun with a plain bead.

Jesse:
I got a great tip from a really good shooter after he watched me shoot.  . The tip I got that helped my shooting accuracy instantly was to take a deeper hook on the string. I had the string out neer the tips ready to roll off which I thought was good but you would be surprised how much improvement it makes by putting the string deep in the joint.  It feels strange at first but it works ;).  Also I was coming off anchor right before my release and I didnt know it.

Mechslasher:
even shooting arrows not matched to the bow, they should all hit in roughly the same place if form is consistant.  you won't know if your arrows are match or not, or if it's your form unless you can keep them in a group.  pick a spot and shoot three to five arrows.  if they are grouping, your form is ok.  if they hit right, your arrows are under spined.  if they hit left, your arrows are over spined.  missing up or down is probably your nocking point in need of adjusting.

aero86:
ok, well, crossing over from my other thread, i got the string slap part down.  i was holding my bow arm the wrong way.  i was trying to hard with it, so i was pushing my elbow down, not out.  and i wasnt holding the bow tight enough either.  and string the bow at 7 or so inches helps.

Little John:
I would get a copy of Fred Asbells instinctive shooting book or both prefably. I just re read mine after several years and found several things that I could be doing better.
