shooting/targeting
jamie:
everything that has been said rings true. when i screw up its form. the loose doesnt happen in the hand it happens in your back muscles. the first time you feel it happen youll understand what i mean. stand 2 paces from a target and close your eyes. come to full draw and hold. now squeeze your drawing arms shoulder backward. you'll feel the string come off your finger tips. you should never open your hand or remove your hand from from face. if you use the above method you'll develop a clean loose and notice much tighter grouping. peace

Hi, i found that my shooting got alot better after i just stayed at one bow weight and practiced with that bow all the time, that way my body and brain knew were to put the arrow up to 55-65 yards give or take an inch...... >:D

I'm going to tell you what I do to be accurate.......
Get close!! ;D
I'm not good enough to hit consistently from farther than about 10-15 yards. :P

recurve shooter:
dude, you to!!!!
form 20 yards i caint hit a 6 inch across bulseye, but i can set a beer can on top of a stump and peg it every time from the same distance. also, at the basspro range i cant hit the paper targets, but i have "killed" hundreds of boar, turkey, and deer 3ds. i think its all about your perception of targets and such. here is what i did.
1. burn your flat target.
2. get a sack o cans.
3. go in the woods.
4. set em up.
5. stick em.
6. repeate.
hope it helps. ;)

I agree with recurve shooter - I've been taking 1 arrow, walking around the woods shooting random leaves, stump holes, etc. getting much better accuracy than shooting at the target butt in my yard from exactly a known 20, 25 and 30 yards, even though I've been shooting with my feet in the exact spot for 6 years(wheelie) and 1 year (traditional). Also, almost never shoot standing up - usually leaning one way or the other, sitting, crouched, or other plausible hunting shots. Personally, I Ain't never shot a deer while standing up firing 20 arrows like we were facing off at the battle of Hastings.
