The witchery of shooting....

But just being able to do it at all tells me that the ability is there, it's just a matter of tapping into that all of the time. Archery is a mental game. To me, it's almost another form of martial art. Sometimes when I get into the zone, I come out of it with less arrows because I break or split the nocks from such tight groups. One thing about shooting arrows is that you can always get better.

I agree with that a hundred percent. ;D That's what is so great about traditional/primitive shooting.

And the more time you spend on shooting for perfection of form, the more you will have those days when you hit the Zen Zone. Also for me, there is also an attitude of just not caring. When I start to care about where the arrow goes, then I lose that zone.

Also it's kind of like that college Bball player who got in the zone the other day and scored 138 points in one game. Kid couldn't miss from anywhere on the court!
He was definitely in the "zone"!

the book "zen in the art of archery" is all about being able to get that feeling every time. plus its a great read.
