There may also be a bit of fatigue setting in, especially later in your session. Russell has a good point, too! (--) >:D (SH) (lol)!

Fatigue was getting to me for certain, I had to quit when I grew and shot off a blister on my finger.

Ouch!! maybe a leather pad for your fingers!

Nah, I like to feel the string. Especially in the cold. I just need to toughen up these baby skin fingers again and get some callouses.
PEARL DRUMS:
Shooting bare fingers lets you know when you draw arm elbow is too high. Ouch.
WhistlingBadger:
I've had (and occasionally still have) similar issues. For me it's a form issue: Inconsistent cant, anchor, and/or a bow arm twitch at the moment of release. When I start hitting all over the place, I forget about the 3d targets for a while and do a few sessions of blind-bale shooting to tighten up my form. That usually takes care of it.

The arrow is the most important part of the bow and arrow set up. Without proper arrows for your bow and your shooting style you'll never be consistent. Form and concentration are the next 2 parts in line.
sleek:
Serious question, embarrassing too, if you troubled 12 at 20, would you hunt? My confidence is shattered. Is that even a billable group? Where would you gain to ensure a 12 inch group found 90 percent of the shots in a kill zone?
