Just shoot then shoot somemore. I've shot few 100,000 times a years for years.. In my teens and thru my 20's use to shoot for 4 hours at mid day between hunts. 8 Hours in the off season. The last 15 years I've did most of my practice stump shooting.

If I do ,do any shooting across the back yard. It's been 1 arrow at a time 10,12 arrows quit. Shooting repleatly builds fourm and mussle memory but leads to bad habbits very quickly.

  So watch out.

   It all comes down to how bad you want it. To hunt,shoot good enough to kill a deer. Do it with a selfbow you've made. You'll belong to a very small group of hunters.

 Hope you make it.

Limit your shot distance to what you can shoot accurately.  Stick with that limit no matter what the situation.  My hunting limit is 15 yards.

Me too Clint.  Fifteen yards is about my max.

 SET UP CLOSE SHOOT CLOSE. I'VE KILLED 40 BUCKS LONGEST SHOT WAS 17 YARDS. MOST WERE 10 TO 12 YARDS.

 15 GOBBLERS AND  LONGEST ONE WAS 22 YARDS. With a knaped head of TEXAS CHERT.. I shot one at 26 but never found him.

 You'll  know your shooting distance after a few dozzen arrows. After that your best tatic is just go and hunt.

Andrea S:
I agree with the "cold bore shot" technique. Usually if I have flyers (the random ones not in the group) it's because I'm getting tired and I've rushed the shot. Try forcing yourself to put a good two minutes or more between shots - after all, you won't be flinging a dozen arrows at a deer. Or at least,you shouldn't be. It's a more realistic representation of how you're going to be shooting in the field.

One of my exercises is to see how good a group I can get from multiple distances and angles, with a little time between shots. It's sort of like stump shooting, except you're moving yourself and not the target.
