Controling that bow arm
NOMADIC PIRATE:
Pushing the Bowarm doesn't mean you want to straighten it, keep your normal form but push that arm like if you want to touch the target ;) ;) ;) ;)

What helps me is to limit the time of my practice sessions. Proper concentration is a big thing in my shooting and I have found that I benefit more from two or three short sessions of shooting in a day - maybe ten or fifteen minutes at a time, rather than the hour long ones... I shoot better with only two or three arrows at a time. Too many arrows in a target makes me worry about damaging nocks and feathers, and it takes away from my focus on the actual spot I want to hit. Sometimes I shoot one arrow at a time. Walk up, get it and do it again. If I stay at it too long, my concentration is diminished and my groups may spread out a bit. I practice only as long as my attention span will allow me to practice perfectly. Does any of that make sense?
NOMADIC PIRATE:
That make sense for aiming practice,
but sometimes you wanna form practice, than you shoot alot of arrows even just a few steps from the bale no aiming just feel the sequence of the shot, if you feel comfortable even better doing it with your eyes closed ;)
H Rhodes:
Yep, I do that once in a while too. Shooting a bow is one of those things that is unique in life. There ain't nothing else just like it and you have to do it, and do it a lot, to get good at it.

Manny, that is an awesome idea of shooting with my eyes. That seems like the perfect way to develope muscle memory, because there would be fewer distraction, just motion. I got to try that.
