Happy,

IMHO the fastest way to improve is to find a "good coach"!!!! Go to your local archery club or proshop ask if there is a good archer offering lessons. Learning the correct way is far better than suffering the throws of being self taught. If your form is correct the rest will fall in place rather quickly.

If that's not possible, use the exact same grip and anchor point every time you draw, and I mean exact. This can be done by slapping a no-peep on your bow

IMHO it's good, identical, repeatable form, release, and followthrough. Not to mention well tuned equipment and matched arrows. Assuming your gear is a go I'd also recommend video taping yourself - watch what you do, how you do it, what you do differently, time your shooting - how long it takes to draw, anchor, aim, release - does it vary? Is your anchor consistant? What is your breathing pattern?

Also - I'd say aim harder - don't let it zip when it drifts by the X, BURN it in the X before easing it off.

Finally - lots and LOTS of arrows. During the height of spot or 3D season it's not uncommon for some to shoot over 100 arrows a day.
